A few YBW aren't much of an autumn, just a Radde's would be nice. Wouldn't mind but not due to lack of effort, just not much to find really!
Perhaps it's time to spruce the farm up...
...later and still fed up I took a break from sprucing and went to Lidsey-hordes of Chiffchaffs but nothing more interesting among them of course & no sign of any of them being tristis or even abientinus (of which surely some will turn up in this Easterly airflow) as far as I could see.
Forgot to put this picture up of a Yellow-browed Warbler at Selsey the other day:
Couple of Wheatears from the Selsey area too:
...might be a Greenland type below might not (pot bellied, appearing short tailed due to longer wings, 6-7 primary tips visible, peachy wash to front & brownish on upperparts...) but there's a lot more than you'd think anyway according to recent DNA analysis...
