Christine's walking & birds blog

Hanging out the washing with the camera on my shoulder, I noticed a bird in our neighbours' rowan tree and snapped a hasty picture just in case it was something other than a house sparrow (with no bins, it was just a pale blob at the time, partially obscured by leaves).


Well, definitely not a house sparrow. It looks remarkably like a barred warbler, but when I went out to investigate further there was no sign of it. A male and a female blackcap were also seen from the house today.
