Dusky Warbler at Wheldrake

A York Area tick to boot...218. A brief visit (as I was in the area) enabled me to strike lucky with a totally underwhelming glimpse. Never a favourite of mine, along with Radde's but an excellent find by Jono Leadley. A nice nostalgic visit though.

Last knockings tomorrow, so time to get off my posterior (and semi-hibernation) and have a last rip around the Patch...a belated Christmas Bird Count! My lad departed for Dubai today; ironic that he really enjoyed the gloom...and mud lol!

I was hoping the Bewick's Swan would be available but the bird scarers sent it off East, unfortunately. The family of White-fronts are still around though...I think.
