Prob Eastern Lesser Whitethroat

28th September 2019

‘Eastern’ Lesser Whitethroat, probably Blythi, in Rens Garden this morning at Sallyport

Just after 10.00 , I was looking over into Ren’s garden from the Garrison wall for his Lesser Whitethroat that’s been in his garden for the last two days. While talking to Ren on me mobile, the whitethroat popped up in front of me feeding in the Sycamores and I told him to get off the phone. Immediately I could see that it was an ‘Eastern’ Lesser Whitethroat and it showed well for a few minutes before flying off further down road where I lost it and then I had to get back to work. Later on, while doin a taxi at the airport, I had a scan from the hangers and relocated the Buff-breasted Sandpiper opposite the terminal building. In the evening, there were up to 10 Mediterranean Gull feeding on the high spring tides off Tregarthens car park.

The Blue Rock Thrush was still proving hard to get among the boulder bays on the south-west side of the Garrison and on Tresco the Ortolan Bunting and short-toed Lark were still on the heliport.
