I regularly had good birds at my previous school in El Salvador, with a several published records. Until a few years ago there were only 4 records of Yellow-throated Warbler in the country, but I twice found a bird in the school, as did one of the parents (one of the country's top birders), thus doubling the total. The school wasn't even located in a particularly good place and only had a few trees. It shows what a bit of observer coverage can do in an under-watched part of the world. Tom</blockquote>
