Hume's Yellow-browed Warbler in Belle Tout Wood
The appearance of this individual really does seem as distinctive as you can hope for, being overall very drab, having greyish-sullied underparts, a cream-coloured supercilium, greyish crown and blackish legs and bill. The fourth for Belle Tout wood that includes the first for Britain in 1966.
