Well it was a walk I hadn't done since I was 17 and hopefully it'll be 23 years before have to do it again. The photos do it no justice and I won't pretend that I can tell Willow from Alder because like everyone else I can't. All the same it will sit on the list as Trails Flycatcher, as would Soft-
plumage Petrel if I ever see one other than off a boat!
Great bird, great twitch with no more than 5o present at any one time - suggesting that either everyone else (who's bothered about this kind of thing) either saw the Cornish bird or are just too unfit.

Kelling another first Red-necked and Grey
Phalarope together.

Daily Express/BBC Breakfast are still calling it a Yellow-bellied Flycatcher so it must be true... Princess Di would have loved to have twitched it had MI6 and Prince Philip not had her murdered...
