Hi all - Just wanted to check the ID on this. Unexpectedly came across this in a load of scrub - am I right in thinking Humes Warbler?
Thanks for your help
Has that dingy Hume’s look about it to my untrained eye ( I’ve only ever seen one!).
You don’t give the date or location, has one been reported from where you saw it?

This was in Preston near Canterbury! I’d be surprised if it was either the Dover or Folkestone bird but it’s possible! This was in a totally innocuous patch of scrub by the roadside… not on a nature reserve or anything. Makes you wonder how many are out there!
I’ve certainly seen one in London, a number of years ago, which was “brighter”than this one and was ID’d on call at the time, making this one looking a likely candidate.

Presume it’s a patch of scrub that you’ve not birded before?, in your minds eye extrapolate that “patch” across the realm and “rares” might become less so…keep up the pioneering.👍
