Hi Spud,
When (and why?!?) do Hume's change their tune? On departure from the breeding grounds, or on arrival at the winter grounds, or inbetween?
The ones I've had in Northumberland (three in November, one wintering in Jan-March) have certainly fitted your description of the winter call better.
Hi Sumit,
I'd agree with Greenish, but wouldn't like to commit myself as to which race, trochiloides, viridanus or nitidus. It looks very bright, but is this just the fog effect you mentioned above working again? Is that a geunuine median covert wingbar, or just a photo effect?
Also the proviso, that I don't know what Western Crowned looks like, and I've never even heard of Pale-footed Bush Warbler . . .
