After spending the day looking longingly out of the window, I managed half an hour at Cotham Flash this evening - there was the usual stuff on the flash, with 5 or 6 Yellow Wags and 4 Wheatears in the paddocks - good, but not a patch on the numbers elsewhere in the county; 25 at Bentinck Void and 22 at Annesley Pit Top today.
And definatelty not a patch on a putative Atlas Flycatcher at Flamborough. Having seen some pics and read the thread on Surfbirds, I'm in two minds; it's certainly a striking bird, but as a 2nd CY it sounds like proving it isn't a hybrid will be difficult. I've been to Flamborough three times and seen three quality birds - Brown Fly, Brown Shrike and E Olivaceous Warbler; if it hangs around, could this be number four...?
