Barred Warbler in Glos.........

1 Nov - The first Barred warbler in Glos in living memory (well, since 1979.....) was seen briefly at Frampton yesterday, and still present this morning. After a bit of a wait, I had good views of it feeding in the sun, a large, pale warbler (juv) with a beady eye. Also seen - 2 Stonechats, a Sparrowhawk (which fortunately left the BW alone) and Lapwing and Curlew on the estuary.
Winter must be nearly here, the Blue and Great Tits in the garden seem to be waiting for the feeders to reappear......
