I think you are right.(well i did see one this spring!)

Yes, Arctic Warbler it is.

Of the others, two are passerines and one a shorebird. All are on the British List.

Cheers,

Dave

2. Yep, Sharpie it is. This juv/1st winter was taken last October in Sydney.
4. Right genus
5. Only one member of this genus has made it to the UK, and this is it.

What an eejit!

4 is Olive-backed pipit - look at that little black bit in front of the eye.
5 For some reason thought you had said it was a warbler, so went down the wrong track. It is my first thought - Cercotrichas galactotes, Rufous bush-robin?

4. Indeed it is! Not the best pic you'll ever see, but identifiable none the less. Taken in northern Thailand in January.

5. I didn't know Rufous bush-robin had occurred in the UK. Oh well, that's not it anyway. Some say that the little black loral spot is a good feature, though it isn't on all birds I see. You're likely to hear this one before you see it.
