Hi An OBP was glimpsed in the West Dune Sycamore Plot yesterday, but when other birders were called to help relocate it, a tree pipit was found nearby so the earlier claim was dismissed. However, fortunately, the OBP was confirmed with the tree pipit late morning today. The OBP clearly favours feeding in rank vegetation underneath the sycamores and frequently flies into the low canopy where views can be obtained with patience. Best to wait and watch from the gate that separates the two grazing enclosures. The bird has come out on the path looking north from this gate. Kev |

I was lucky enough to catch up with OBP at approx 1030, not sure it has been seen since.... Others birds included Lesser Whitethroat (very smart bird behind sailing club) Tree pipit 4 Chiffs, goldcrest, blackcap, siskins, song thrushes etc... Edit: forgot to mention, if you are thinking about going to see this bird, don't wear shorts and take some insect repellant, there are Mosquitos everywhere! |
