October 9th 2008

Overnight journey to Nanjizal Valley, Polgigga Cornwall and a long day in the field was well worth with it good views of the Alder/Willow Flycatcher. Might be a credit crunch but certainly not effecting the scores present for this potential new bird for Britian and though most present thought it was Alder they are very difficult to separate in the field and later in day it was trapped and confirmed as a first winter male Alder Flycatcher. Plenty of other birds in the area that I dont see on my patch so all in all a good day out.
