I notice today on my RBA pager today that someone had a barred warbler yesterday 'in bramble bush at end of East Bank late evening but no sign this morning'. So my 'large grey warbler' close by also late evening WAS a barred warbler!!!!!! Am I allowed to count it do you think?????!!!!!!!
I notice that RBA do look through various sites and take news from them, nothing wrong with that, but i think in this case it would be unlikely as you sound like you werent sure and the barred came on as definite not probable or possible (correct be if i'm wrong (again) William. Maybe someone read this thread and equated walsey hills with east end of east bank went looking for it and drew a blank. Or maybe they did see a barred warber late evening but it does seem that 'late evening' bit sounds like your sighting and someone has nicked it off you!
I'd say if your 100% sure you saw a Barred tick it, but personally if i wasn't 100% and a barred was seen the same or next day i still wouldn't tick it.
Hopefully you'll get a nice showy Barred bowling around on top of a bramble bush later on in the season Penny:t:
