The first news today was a
Wheatear at Scalby Lodge Pond but then nothing until late afternoon when a
double discovery at Crook Ness started the pulses racing. An Icterine Warbler was discovered in the
bushes on the seaward end of the gully on the northern side and then whilst
watching this bird a male Subalpine
Warbler popped into view alongside. The features of the Subalpine would
suggest that it is of the eastern race albistriata,
the Icterine Warbler showed well on
and off until dusk but the Subalpine
was only seen by three lucky observers in the first half hour after its
discovery.
