Icterine Warbler, Thorntonloch (May 2008).

Icterine Warbler - IKY001

This Icterine Warbler at Thorntonloch on the 28th May was only the 2nd Lothian spring record, and the first ever singing male. After finding it the bird became quite elusive and so these record shots were all that could be managed. Only those lucky enough to be in the immediate area managed to see and hear the bird, it was present only for one afternoon.

Icterine Warbler - IKY002.
