Western Bonelli's Warbler

Today I photographed this Western Bonelli's Warbler found by Mark Wallace yesterday at Bosistow near Porthgwarra.It Over winters in tropical  West Africa and breeds generally in Spain, France, Italy etc. I would guess that the recent South Easterlies pushed it off course on its return journey.

Catch up birding yesterday and today, yesterday evening and this evening I went to Drift Dam to catchup with the wader fest there. The water levels are low exposing mud banks creating great habitat. I was lucky enough to have some great views in front of the hide to night, last night was the same.  Knot,Ruff, Green Sandpiper Common Sandpiper, Ringed Plover and Wheatear was seen tonight and last night it included the Wood Sandpiper,
