A new species for me today a Barred Warbler. Seen at Zinc Works Road, Seaton Carew. It gave very good viewings today but is was a very mobile bird constantly chasing flies and wasps through several bushes. I only managed one shot of it and at that not a very good one.

However views were a lot better clearly showing the bars on the underneath.
Great stuff Ian. Despite living on the east coast I've only ever managed to catch up with one Barred Warbler in this country myself. They always seem to be very elusive. I'm impressed your's was so active because the one I saw just sat in a bush not doing much. Very nice birds though.
Hi Ian,
Like Fifey, it took me a long time to get one of these, but I've seen a fair few now - they seem to be a bit like busses, you wait ages for one, and then see several
