AUTUMN AT LAST!

Travelling up to Norfolk on Sunday I called in at Wells Wood where an Icterine Warbler had been reported.Having parked the car up I made my way to the area and bumped into James Hanlon who had seen the bird and pointed me in the right direction.

It didnt take long before the bird showed foraging around in the trees with a Long Tailed Tit flock.I hadn't connected with an Icterine Warbler since 2022 on Shetland so it was nice to see and it showed very well in the Norfolk afternoon sun.

I had one good sighting of the bird and then it became really elusive probably due to the weather becoming very overcast.Other birds of note in the same area were a Wood Warbler and 2 Spotted Flycatcher's

A great afternoons birding and at last autumn is upon us!
