| 20250803 Zitting Cisticola Male in frequent song flights over reedbed, Walberswick, just out of shot over mill... Diverted for British Isles tick on way to shoot a Black Stork... Zitter's first seen in Mallorca 1989 as Fan-tailed Warbler and assumed it would be bagged living on the South coast. Odd the species is still classed as a Mega Scarcity in Britain? Following a wide-ranging circular song-flights the bird dived straight into cover... Proved rather difficult to switch from bins to camera which then locked onto Dragonflies &c. 'ziit' repeated in flight. Or 'tzet' better. |

| 20250814 Zitting Cisticola The second bite of the cherry, and the bird performed well in frequent circling song flights. Perched up at a distance but usually dived into cover. Fanned tail and dark crown of male shows here... |
 |
| 20250814 Zitting Cisticola Compared notes with a top Vol from the Holkham Est, a very rare birder type, rare info and very rarely away from the Norfolk Coast... |
 |
| 20250814 Zitting Cisticola Tail shows as a small triangle when not fanned. Clean pale yellow ochre underparts and darker head. Short bluntly rounded wing profile, p3-6 almost equal length. OM1's bird subject detection locked onto this miniature subject at range in flight... |
