For ID afficionados, including those who want to rule out Caspian Stonechat (variegatus or hemprichii), here are some further images.

Also seen were a House Martin and a nice Short-eared Owl.

22 Oct 2015   Sibechat

I have only seen one Siberian Stonechat ('Sibechat') previously - just after the Flamborough Head Desert Warbler in 1991. I thought I had seen one in London - but the Barnes Wetland Centre bird was controversial and was eventually judged to be 'an unusual Common Stonechat' and featured in a note from the BB Rarity Committee files to that effect. Yesterday evening, a Sibechat was found at Caister, and when it was still present this morning, I trundled over. A very smart individual - adult male? - but one that frustrated by being mobile and inapproachable. I could only extract record shots, the best of which are here.
