Hume's Whitethroat
Orphean Warbler
Common Tailorbird

Pale-rumped Warbler
Brook's Leaf Warbler
Greenish Warbler

This brings our totals to:

Not a bad start for this early in the season!

Just read Dave Broadley's trip report to Extramudura region of Spain. Found 3 more for the list

Savi's Warbler
Common Redstart
Subalpine Warbler

I'm off to the Florida Keys and the Dry Tortugas next week. Should be able to add a few of my own.

Keep warblering,
dennis

Just back from Florida with some warbler sightings for the list.

Add Prairie Warbler, American Redstart and Ovenbird to the "new world" list.

So far 29 of 279 "old world warblers" and 29 of 116 "new world warblers" have been reported this year.

Keep me posted,
dennis

Peter Hayes had a River Warbler if you haven't got that on your list.

Big up Mr Hayes!

 

[peter hayes]

. . . Common Redstart . . "

Ooops! That's a chat (Turdidae), not an old world warbler (Sylviidae)

For me, I've seen this year (haven't checked to see which are already down on the list):
Grasshopper Warbler
Sedge Warbler
Reed Warbler
Whitethroat
Blackcap
Wood Warbler
Chiffchaff
Willow Warbler

Common ones yet to arrive (should see these in the next few days):
Lesser Whitethroat
Garden Warbler

All in Northumberland, NE England.

O.K. I'll bite. What is a River Warbler(Peter or Andrew)?

Nothing by that name in my book!

You wouldn't be pulling my leg....would you?

[Michael Frankis]

River Warbler: Locustella fluviatilis.

Breeds in eastern Europe and western Asia - roughly Germany east to the Ob valley in central Russia; winters in east Africa. Rare vagrant to Britain, 29 records in total (of which I've seen two).

[Michael Frankis]

Hi Simondix,

That's now Eastern Olivaceous Warbler (Hippolais pallida) and Eastern Bonelli's Warbler (Phylloscopus orientalis) - these two were split a year or two ago (from Western Olivaceous, H. opaca; and Western Bonelli's, P. bonellii, respectively)

Michael

 

[Andrew]

I see Sedge Warbler is already listed, I just want to shout about mine! LOL.

 

[peter hayes]

Thanks for that Michael..........

 

[Richard Ford]

I had a Garden warbler today.

 

[dennis]

Thank you redwing and simondix(you too Andrew).

Greater Whitethroat, Sedge Warbler, Rueppell's Warbler, Cyprus Warbler, Spectacled Warbler, Olivaceous Warbler(Clements still has not split the species) and Garden Warbler have made the list.

37 "old world" and 29 "new world" so far.

By the way, simondix, the "new world" is alittle to your west.

Hi Dennis,

Interesting that the OW has overtaken the NW after a slow start

Could you give the full lists please - now that the thread is on page 2, it's not so easy to follow what's on and what isn't!

Thanks,

Michael

 

[dennis]

Good idea Michael. I'll post the full list this evening. By the way Michael.....Luckily for us, Clements "Birds of the World" lists Common Redstart as a warbler. It remains on list.

[Richard Ford]

lesser whitethroat this morning

 

[Michael Frankis]

Hi Dennis,

If it includes Redstart (Phoenicurus phoenicurus), then it presumably also allows Black Redstart, Northern Wheatear (and all the other wheatears!), Stonechat, Whinchat, (European) Robin, Nightingale, etc., etc., etc. - and then too all the thrushes, bluebirds, American Robin, . . . zat so??

Michael

 

[dennis]

Oh Michael! My mis-read. Common Redstart is "old world flycatcher" in my book. Not "old world warbler". You are absolutely right about the others also.
