12 June: Spotted Flycatcher, Garden Warbler (foy; in brief song). ♂ Wheatear (scarce in June: records on the fingers of one hand) and possible Black Redstart (seen very badly and even scarcer in June) in a’noon. A “bright” Phyllosc was glimpsed by an ultra-experienced world birder - obviously not me. This, despite the sustained efforts of seasoned birders well worth their salt, eluded their gaze. The most exciting, if frustrating, ‘passerine day’ since early April.
A digest of this strange Spring’s sightings is in the process of assembly and will be published well before the end of the year - thus, rathe and timely.
