Bluethroat Spring

With good numbers of both white-spotted and red-spotted Bluethroats on offer this spring, digiscopers have excelled.

Enjoy again those Stop Press images. As always our thanks to John Judge, Ian Barnard, Nigel Blake, Bill Baston and Paul Hackett for these images.

All six races of White-spotted and red-spotted Bluethroats (Luscinia svecica) are currently lumped together, although with the current fad for splitting this might not remain so. Amongst the many red-spots, Birding World recorded as many as 16 white-spots this Spring. How did you perform ?
