Port Meadow 3rd October, Yellow-browed Warbler Still
| YELLOW-BROWED WARBLER still this morning near the car park off Walton Well Road in willows between the road and the Meadow and showing well on and off. Still present 12:30 pm at least (per Ian Smith) Car park on south side of road; requires 50p for an hour or £1.05 for up to three hours. No change given. Bird in those same pollarded willows on the north side of road, between 10.30 and 12.30 but difficult to get a decent view. Best located by call or when chased by Chiffchaff. Immediate vicinity looked an excellent sheltered feeding area to retain the bird, so worth the trip. Nearest Post Code for Sat Nav: OX2 6GE Ian Smith Yellow-browed Warbler call The third recording is typical. Please email me or Adam if your county list needs amending. |
