EASTERN ABIETINUS CHIFFCHAFF at Saltfleetby Oct-18, 2005 (same bird)

The wing-bar is not so obvious from this view, but another feature was its pale feet and lower leg. The call matched that described and recorded by Hannu Jannes on his CD "Calls Of Eastern Vagrants", where he remarks that this call is not regularly heard in Western Europe.

in a very brief visit to WEdge this

afternoon a very similar looking bird, all brown no sign of any green or yellow anywhere in

plumage, was seen--a call heard earlier was assumed to be from this bird but it was not seen

calling--a play back experiment may be instructive

The Bird Club was formed in 1979, to encourage and further an interest in the bird life, birding and birdwatching of the historic county of Lincolnshire, to collect and publish information on bird movements and bird populations, bird taxonomy, bird status, to encourage conservation of the wildlife of the county of Lincolnshire and to provide sound information on which bird conservation policies can be based.

Joining the Bird Club is a great way to make new birdwatching friends and contacts in Lincolnshire! If you are a "beginner", but keen to become actively involved in birding, you will find that learning about your county's wild birds - how, when and where to see them - is both easier and more enjoyable when undertaken in the company of our local enthusiasts. If you're already an active birdwatcher you can add another dimension to your birding by becoming involved in our varied local activities.
