ICTERINE WARBLER

 

 

 

 

 

An Icterine Warbler was found this afternoon at Sandwich Bay. It was quite vocal and although not too difficult to find, it was not easy to get a close photo as it stayed a safe distance at all times. Here are my efforts though. Nice to see some sun at last as well.

Icterine is a scarce spring migrant at the Bay and possibly a little more common in autumn when young ones cross the Channel from Scandinavia and northern Europe on their way to Africa for the winter.
