Well JD your nearly right. It's actually a pallas's grasshoper warbler, affectionately known as P G tips to all twitchers on account of the white tips to it's wings and tail. A very rare vagrant from Asia and still as far as I know the only twitchable bird on the British main land. This one was photographed on Blakeney point Norfolk on the 22nd sept 2001. It was one of the maddest twitches I think I've ever been on. More reminiscent of a pheasant drive than a well organized twitch. I guess it was one of the reasons I packed it all in, to many people care more about gettin' a tick' than the bird it's self. And they call themselves nature lovers????? Not a countryman between them.

Anyway enough of my rant, heres another one to have a go at....birds004yk4.jpg
