Barred Warbler

A reserve first was spotted today, a juvenile/first winter Barred Warbler was very mobile about the hedges and scrub adjacent to the Estuary Tower. It was also seen from the Knott Hide in the hedge above the reedbed (Pillbox pool) and in the hedge between the Estuary Tower and Stephen Kirk hide. This is only the third record for Gloucestershire.

If looking for this bird keep movement to a minimum and voices down for the best chance of a view, scan the berries in the hedgerow.
