HI All,
Had an intriguing sighting when walking in Ashdown Forest the other day - not sure that the info that I am able to provide will ever enable a definite id to be made, but just interested in some other people's ideas....
Watching a group of Stonechats when a slightly larger bird flicked up onto the top of a bush - very pale/white throat, chest and belly and a darker head with that domed shape that some warblers have (ie like Sardinian Warbler for instance).... It only stayed put for a few seconds and then flew off, displaying greyish back and upperwing with distinct white tail-sides....
Having a bit of trouble thinking what this might have been - something prosaic and me just having a senior-moment, or something altogether more exotic!!
All the best.... Ray
