Skokholm

The 'Subalpine' Warbler reappeared today in an area away from where it was previously seen (after hiding for three days). Pleasingly it called twice, with the distinctive Wren-like call of a Moltoni's Warbler, before again melting into the Nettles, not to be seen again. This fits the moult pattern previously noted and will no doubt be confirmed using DNA in due course. It will be a first for Wales. We will keep an eye on both the weather and the likelihood of a successful twitch.
