Hume's Yellow Browed Warbler

I arrive at The Point at 07.30 as dawn was breaking hoping to see plethora of birds moving down the channel, unfortunately very little was moving just very small numbers of the usual Red-throated Divers, Gannets, Kittiwakes, Common Scoters, Auks and Great-crested Grebes. At 08.15 just as was leaving a party of 15 Brent Geese flew back west.   

Kestrel at Boulderwall Farm

At the south end of the ARC 5 Goosander (2 drakes) could be seen, also still c150 Gadwall there and a Great White Egret. 2 more Great White Egrets flew over the causeway towards Lade.
At Boulderwall Farm 20+Tree Sparrows around the feeders with several Reed Buntings, by the entrance track a Kestrel posed and 2 Great White Egrets were out in the fields.
From Dennis's another Great White Egret, 3 Little Egrets, 5 Goldeneye and 200+Shoveler. From Makepiece 4 red head Goosander, 3 red head Smew, 2 Marsh Harriers, c400 Wigeon and c25 Pintail. A bittern flew from Christmas dell to Dengemarsh, 6+ Cetti's Warblers were heard around the tracks. From Hanson 2 more red head Smew and 5 Goldeneye. MH reported 2 Red Crested Pochards there this afternoon.
Half hour watching from Plodland at lunchtime saw 2 Great White Egrets (probably the Boulderwall birds), 2 Marsh Harriers, a Common Buzzard, c30 Stock Doves,c200 Golden Plover and c500 Lapwing.
From Scotney Court Cottage another Great White Egret, c1000 Wigeon. While looking for Corn Buntings, a call from DW that he had found a Hume's Yellow Browed Warbler in the trapping area, had me hot footing it back to the car with a brief stop at Plodland for my Wellies and a dash to the area. On arrival the bird had not been seen for a while but had been heard, fortunately DW relocated it shortly after my arrival, giving us a couple of brief views before moving off with a Tit flock that also contained 2 Chiffchaffs including a Tristis.
If you are thinking of looking for this bird in the near future Wellies are a must!
