The most important features clinching the identification are a grey mantle with broad, arrow-shaped black streaks and prominent, triangular head streaking that continues down the nape and into the mantle streaking (neither of these is apparently shown by Black-headed Bunting).</span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="text-align: justify;">The species was common in captivity until the export ban in 1982 and this corresponded with a large number of escaped birds (with small flocks occasionally even appearing at sites such as Portland, Dorset). As a result, the taxon currently finds itself languishing in Category D of the British list, although a review was recently prompted by the British Ornithologists' Union Records Committee (BOURC) to determine whether the species should be added to Category A. The frequency of occurrences has rapidly decreased since the</span><span style="text-align: justify;"> ban and there are only four additional records since the turn of the century – at Baldhoun, Isle of Man, on 16-17 June 2001, Cattawade, Essex, on 21 May 2002, Monreith, Dumfries and Galloway, on 8-9 June 2004, and Out Skerries, Shetland, from 2-8 October 2010.</span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

They're not always as clean and bright as this one, and it showed a treat in the willows and bracken alongside a few Goldcrests, a female Blackcap and a couple of Chiffchaffs. It was a a real pleasure to watch in a relaxed mood and in a stunning location,with Choughs overhead a Peregrine briefly taking attention away from the bird of the day. Unsurprisingly the twitch had gone well and fair play to RSPB for their friendly assistance. Apparently the police presence was down to a kayaker accessing the island without permission the day before, which was a risk to pupping seals and biosecurity. I don't know if he was a twitcher, but it seemed unlikely that a flotilla of kayak-owning twitchers would descend onto the island.</span></span><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="background-color: white;">Two yanks in three days and we still had the Canada warbler to see!There is only one previous record of Bay Breasted warbler and this was on the 1st October at Lands end in Cornwall in 1995 </span><a href="https://britishbirds.co.uk/sites/default/files/V90_N10_P444-449_A120.pdf" style="background-color: white;">https://britishbirds.co.uk/sites/default/files/V90_N10_P444-449_A120.pdf</a><span style="background-color: white;">.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial;"><span></span></span></p><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">As I stood in the sunshine the american arrival of news kept coming.

Three of these reside in the Atlantic ocean; Brown, Masked and Red-footed.</span></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="background-color: white;">Britain's first record of a Brown Booby was as recent as 2019. Remarkably an adult bird was found in Cornwall and twitched by a few before disappearing, only for second bird (an immature) to be found nearby and seen by many, <span style="color: black;"><a href="https://neverenoughbirding.blogspot.com/2019/09/fairly-booby-licious.html" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: black;">including me</span></a>. Sinc</span>e then Brown Booby's have been seen and claimed annually, and one was photographed in Scotland this week. Another twitchable one will happen soon. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="background-color: white;">Red-footed Booby first occurred in September 2016, when one was p<a href="https://wildlifeambulance.org/red-footed-booby-found-on-st-leonards-beach/" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: black;">icked up on a Sussex</span> <span style="color: black;">beach and taken in to care</span></a>. To the best of my knowledge it dies in care, as rescued seabirds so often do. Until now there hadn't been another. Masked Booby is largely a Caribbean species, but the appearance of one in the UK wouldn't come as an enormous surprise. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7KTsLHXUsQPhKnH-y2dkRa94uDrAUEbhRQHA3w7-jmbBIR5G6S5_eBNUbGgCkGDEDxIKYnfuevnFfSsqzTOhmYlqIWXFTzhKrcolZa6qpTJ1Thhyphenhyphen3c820D4Snn5DgdJrDiwQDqIkIg0h08pPk30bD6DYOmc3M7PhWVBpQiLIgM5pNFeZ5VNP1P0j9ZQSx/s1286/IMG_0680.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="724" data-original-width="1286" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7KTsLHXUsQPhKnH-y2dkRa94uDrAUEbhRQHA3w7-jmbBIR5G6S5_eBNUbGgCkGDEDxIKYnfuevnFfSsqzTOhmYlqIWXFTzhKrcolZa6qpTJ1Thhyphenhyphen3c820D4Snn5DgdJrDiwQDqIkIg0h08pPk30bD6DYOmc3M7PhWVBpQiLIgM5pNFeZ5VNP1P0j9ZQSx/w640-h360/IMG_0680.JPG" width="640" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: arial;"> Me and Mark!
