Yep, I had a Shag the day before Valentine's Day. As always, I'm suffering from premature identification

The Birds of Derbyshire book has finally arrived!
Now just need a few hours spare............
Excellent news on the Sanctuary.
8 Hawfinch this afternoon in the trees above (on the skyline) the entrance to Willersley Castle.
Intrigued by the current spate of DNA'ed Lesser Whitethroats, I see the Tynemouth one has come back as blythi. I think that looks very like the photos of the Eggington bird. I wonder if anyone has asked the observer to see if they can get material for DNA? I see Richard Klim has pointed out that "van den Berg 2014 (Dutch Birding bird names) now treats blythi, halimodendri and margelanica as subspecies of Hume's Whitethroat Sylvia althaea, reflecting the divergence found by Olsson et al 2013." on the rare birds forum http://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?t=277506 .... could be a very good bird for Derbyshire if they are ever split as sub species or full species in the UK.....
