Peter Jones, "Hampshire Diary"

Monday, October 1, 2007 - Hengistbury: The ones that got away!

A Yellow Browed Warbler, a few more Ring Ouzels and an Osprey were the half expected "other decent migrants" to put in an appearance at Hengistbury yesterday. One of the Ring Ouzels was in an area about half a mile away from where I saw mine in the direction I saw it flying!

 

Interesting that the place is experiencing a lack of passerines today, either everyone is at work (don't believe that for a minute!) or it just proves how difficult it is to find something out of the ordinary, even when the odds are fairly well stacked in your favour.

 

Yellow Browed is a personal bogey! I have seen one years ago, but have dipped on several in Well's Wood over the years, and came so very close to finding one of my own a couple of Autumns ago.. got a fleeting glimpse of a leaf Warbler, with a white wingbar, but couldn't nail it down, and couldn't track it down. More dipping yesterday!
