Wait. There's a branch in the way? You'll have to delete those shots

Seriously, great pics, Kevin.

The preferred option in these parts is to delete the branch, throw litter all over the place and depart having 'nailed' the shot I understand...

I'm sure the Brown-breasted gave some full frame shots, one of the brave flycatchers giving dare-devil stunts during hunts. Glad you got the male JPF. Missed the high time of the migration day. :-(

I almost said something to that effect, but figured it might stir the pot a bit too much.

It will come as a big surprise that Mark & I attacked the usual haunts and after a very quiet start it turned into a pretty good day ! A 'Lord of the Flies' day indeed with 8 species recorded.

That said I may not be making the trip out to XYS that often after May and may look further afield for my jollies !

61-65 species (including said warblers).

A quality list Kevin - any pix?

Migration has just about run its course down here, with only the odd bittern or tern a possbility to keep things interesting.

Cheers
Mike
