There are some cracking photo's of this bird by the finder here https://twitter.com/rbnUK/status/653160424670670848 but little sign of the bird afterwards. Much noise and disturbance along the footpath by all and sundry unfortunately. Other birds in the area included 2 Ring Ousels and a Firecrest in the west dunes/sycamores area; 30+ Redwing; 8 Fieldfare; 1 Marsh Harrier over the plantation; 1 GG Shrike in the ringing hollow near the observatory.

The Rustic Bunting showed well on two or three occasions over about an hour.

Also of interest today was a male Redstart in the East Dunes with a pretty decent pale wing panel which was thus possibly an Ehrenberg's.

Additional personal totals during the day were:

Great-Grey Shrike 1
Yellow-Browed 1
Firecrest 3
Goldcrest 350
Ring Ouzel 26
Tree Pipit 1
Brambling 10
Redwing 250
Fieldfare 35
Song Thrush 45
Spotted Redshank 1
Med Gull adult

The main arrival of birds occurred from about 10am

I also did a round at Gib on the 11th and almost every sycamore was jumping with goldcrests (estimate of 300-400). My brambling total was about 15. Also had a grey wagtail, 8 swallows, 20+ siskins, arctic skua and a gannet.
Cheers
Brian

The Rustic Bunting was found by Alan Temple at about 10:30 on Sunday. He was accompanied by Martin Swannell, a visiting birder from Northampton. Other lucky observers were a group of RSPB members from Litchfield.

Nice one Alan!

Regards to all,

Colin, I believe that the person with Alan Temple when the Rustic Bunting was found was Martin Swannell from Northampton.
Information received from Alan, who called me yesterday evening.

Regards

Roy
