This morning, I was at home when I learnt that County Recorder Jane Turner had netted a Barred Warbler in her garden in Hoylake. Jane shared on the local WhatsApp bird group that the bird would be released in an hour.

Jane soon appeared from her garden with the bird in hand. It was a great bird for Cheshire and Wirral and a county tick for me after spending hours looking for the Burton R.S.P.B. bird last year.
There are 8 previous records of Barred Warbler in Cheshire and Wirral:
2023 Burton RSPB, 10th-12th November
2017 Hale, 14th November
2014 West Kirby, 9th -17th November
2014 Red Rocks, 16th September (possibly 4th day)
2010 Hoylake, 3rd September
2000 Leasowe, 11th September
1999 Leasowe, 12th September
1993 Red Rocks, 12th September
