Savannah Sparrow

[nigelblake]

A bird that involved a monumental trip to Fair Isle, actually for the Siberian Rubythroat which would not stay still long enough to photograph, this Savannah Sparrow however was quite a poser and just everso slightly rarer than the Sibe.

I'd say the consolation prize looks very good! Nice shot and great find.

[Andy Bright]

Very nice result. I don't think anyone got a good shot of the 'Sibe' anyway.

Wow!

So this is why my winter sparrows haven't arrived yet. Took a side trip to England uhhh Scotland!

It's a beautiful shot Nigel.

Thanks Michael. My faux pas.

So which race is it? It doesn't look much like the only one I have seen, the one at Portland way back. Fabulous pic by the way.
