Eventually caught up with it in a tree after a frantic couple of hour's panic. Later we had it on the undercliff where it showed superbly. Only downer of the day was meeting a fella who reckoned he'd had a female Sardinian Warbler in the scrub which never reappeared. The Red-throated Thrush was SO much more satisfying than the Naumann's which I twitched via train as a schoolboy lout. Somewhere I have photo's of each, bought on subsequent twitches as was the norm back in them thar days :) Gibsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14699055561230102061noreply@blogger.com
