Where was the Warbler Paul?

That pic was from Mavrokolympos Dam on 30th April but we also saw them at Asprokremnos Dam on 28th April and the closest sighting to Pissouri was from Kensington Cliffs on 1st May.

All the best

65 lifers on a 9 day trip to the Upper Texas Coast and Edwards Plateau in central Texas, including 32 warblers and a big fallout of passerines at Sabine Woods after we saw the thermometer drop from 32°C to 15°C as a cold front moved in. Last lifer actually one of the most common birds in the eastern US, but everything is new once: Tufted Titmouse!

ortolan bunting today

Quasi lifer: Hudsonian Godwit this morning. Seen once before but only super distantly in Alaska, which has always made me question how accurate the ID was. Much much better views today, and it was also new for my lower 48 list.

Heard and caught a quick glimpse of a Warbling Vireo right by the branch off the Mohawk River, behind the Wolf Hollow Brewing company in Schenectady, NY. Wouldn't have known it was a Warbling Vireo singing if Merlin didn't identify the sound.

Grasshopper Warbler, in my own area. It's actually moved closer to my house from where I first found it, I can hear it from my garden! I've heard it almost every day for around two weeks now. Finger's crossed he finds a girlfriend.

Holiday to Greece got me a woodchat shrike at the Delphic oracle...

 

[Paul Chapman]

Four lifers at the weekend in Corsica with Corsican Nuthatch, Corsican Finch, Mediterranean Flycatcher and the Catergory C California Quail. Various other species seen & some endemic subspecies including the impressive Corsican Common Crossbills.

All the best

New ABA Area bird: Garganey in Manasquan, NJ.

 

[Mysticete]

Jealous...I tried for the Wisconsin Garganey but it was effectively a 2 day wonder.

I don't think there have ever been as many Garganeys recorded in a single year in recent memory as 2022.

Eleonora's Falcon 27 May - I always forget to add the entry here! Six star bird.... (my awards began as a five-star system.)

A Bluethroat took a liking to my garden and visited multiple times from 20th to 24th May. Couldnt believe it!
