ARCTIC WARBLER at Landguard
A first-winter ARCTIC WARBLER was trapped and ringed at Landguard NR (Suffolk) just prior to dusk last night and was still present today.
It was retrapped twice this morning but spent most of the day moving between the Holm Oaks and Tamarisk bushes close to the steps at the south end of the ringing compound and viewable from the footpath on the seaward side.
It was calling quite frequently but was generally typically elusive, showing well perhaps once an hour and for a few minutes at a time.

CITRINE WAGTAIL in West Cornwall
This juvenile CITRINE WAGTAIL, superbly photographed by Brian Field, is still present today at Marazion Marsh RSPB (Cornwall), after being present at the site for a week. It is best viewed from the track by the standing stone but can be elusive, going missing for long periods of time.
