DUSKY THRUSH 1 ex. first-summer female BOURC/IRBC 521
First-summer female Dusky Thrush in Margate Cemetery
In our initial treetop views we were surprised to see such rusty (not black) tones to the breast-side and flank markings that combined with what appeared ashy-grey tones to its crown and upperparts and apparently greyish supercilium recalled what we have considered being most likely Dusky x Naumann's Thrush hybrids on Hegura. However, when seen much lower, it morphed into an altogether more eye-catching and boldly-patterned bird with its upperparts appearing far browner, its supercilium far whiter and black scalloping across its breast. Its tail also appeared reassuringly dark brown.

Ringtail Montagu's Harrier at Reculver
Presumably a first-summer individual by virtue of its dark secondaries and pale unstreaked body.
