What conditions are needed for "Yank passerines" by the way?

Do you think that might be down to the low pressure which has been consistently sitting over Scandinavia all through this promising N/NE/E wind period? Only the very bottom end of the area has been free of it and even then, most of the coastline up there would be getting onshore westerlies. So perhaps all we're getting is a trickle rather than a flood of stuff, plus whatever's drifted in from further east? A lot of stuff may not be leaving, or have already left in August? Also, I suppose it's just hurtling straight over the top of us in this clear weather. What do you think? Discuss..... !
The firecrest looks like it doesn't have any eyes ?
Sunday afternoon.
After finishing work decided to drive to Cley again! and walk to Half Way House to attempt to see the Blythe's Reed Warbler and Yellow Browed Warbler.
Exhilarating walk out there in the sunshine, BUT looking for the Blythe's was a completely waste of time - it doesn't exist!!!!!!:-C and walking through sueda starts to blow your mind after a while - had a brief glimpse 2 or 3 times of the YBW but not enough to ID, several people said it was, but can't really count it for my list!!! Neither bird was very helpful this afternoon. Not bothering looking there for either of them anymore! Walked back where bird of the afternoon was a nice Wheatear sitting on the wire fence in front of Coastguard's carpark. I then relocated myself to Walsey Hills where it was equally productive!!! Quick stop at MY 'House on the Hill' at Blakeney produced 11 Pinkfeet flying through the sunset.
Wells - chips and onto parents to show them latest photos of RBflys, spot fly, wryneck, glossy ibis etc.

Hi,
Just thought I'd say thanks to all the norfolk birders I have met and who have helped me enjoy the past 3 years in the county. Having spent the past 3 years with the RSPB at Titchwell and in the Broads I have finally got a full time post as Warden of Sandwich and Pegwell Bay in Kent with the wildlife trust. (Fan-tailed Warbler on the first day cant be bad!)
So thanks for good birds and great company to all those who know me, I'll be back!
