Hot news today of a female SARDINIAN WARBLER at Berry Head in South Devon had Brian Heasman & myself shooting off in hope that it would still be showing when we got there ! but on arrival we were told that it had not been seen for a while .
So after a while the birders there drifted off in hope of finding it again , I was in a spot close to the road when I found a BARRED WARBLER sat in a small bush so I called out to another birder Ken Montandon who was close to me what I had & he got good views of it before it flew off to some other bushes , as did other birders when the bird was relocated again making it the first twitchable one for 6 years .
Then later on in the day the Sardinian Warbler was refound & about 17 birders got brief views of the bird on & off for a while before it came out into the open where in the end we all ended up getting good views of this very rare bird in Devon & even better my 6th County tick of the year .
