Stunning!The species has yet to be seen here in Ireland,but we can but hope:next September on Tory Island...?;-)

stunning bird, how scarey would that be to find, its huge!! still I live in hope there will be a mainland record soon.


Hi Ash,
I'd quite happily make do with a Great Reed Warbler here:hasn't been a record since 1979 and even THAT one wasn't twitchable,so it would be as good as a first national record.None at my local reedbed...yet!
Planning to be on Tory for a week this Sep,and this species would be one of my "most wanted",though I realise that the likes of Lancy,Citrine,PG Tips etc would be more likely,despite the former not having been seen in Ireland yet...
