26/9/97 Languard, Suffolk

LANCEOLATED WARBLER 1 ex.

Lanceolated Warbler at Languard
Having been trapped this skulking sibe was released into the small back garden of an old house. Every hour or so one of the ringers would enter the garden and gently coax the bird into view for the assembled crowd viewing over the fence. Almost too close to focus the sharply-defined narrow pale fringes to its tertials are nicely detailed in Alan's superb image.
