Siberian Lesser Whitethroat -Kilbaha

 I was hopeful of catching up with this Lesser Whitethroat that had been showing around a garden in Kilbaha over past few days.

 I hav`nt seen one in a long time and is the most interesting bird for me that we have had on the headland this autumn 

I got a brief show around 9am, then it just disappeared for almost 2 hours. I stayed around watching the Yellow browed Warblers on the chase and Goldcrests which were busy providing decent entertainment

Stubborn patience paid off as the Lesser Whitethroat came to view at the bottom end of the tree row, slowly moving closer always in cover of branches
