Hi Folks
Here is a shot of the strange ,what appears to be an adult female Subalpine Warbler
Note the following features,well worn tail but still with traces of pure white on outer tail feathers.,worn upper tail coverts,old worn tertials with bleached fringes,adult eye and eye ring,traces of buff to throat and upper breast,upper parts grey tinged brown and crown ,brown ,tinged grey.
HEY,some of these birds are fun to age and sex ( or do I mean a nightmare)!!!!!!
With ringing,unusual birds turn up all the time in these southern climes and continue to show our scanty knowledge,and always one has to be on ones guard and never presume anything because nature is NOT uniform and never will be.
Not like what the politicians are trying to do to us all in the E.U.,I hasten to add,but whatever Mr Blair and all his cohorts thing they can do will not come to pass down here,long may the French,Germans Spanish remain as they are,you just have to talk to the local Spaniards and see what they really think to it all.
And another thing to stir things up,remember who we are too,BRITISH,we are an island race despite the tunnel,illegal immigrants etc etc.
Spain gets lots of illegal immigrants from Morocco and further S. in Africa,and what do you think they do to them,well,the sensible thing,SEND THEM BACK STRAIGHT AWAY FROM WHENCE THEY CAME,WHOOP PEEEEEEEEE!!!
