20260216 Hume's Leaf Warbler & Purple Sandpiper, North Denes Lowestoft

20260216 Hume's Leaf Warbler
Shot taken at 10m plus...
Initially the bird popped up within 5m requiring full range reset on Big Black... but too late.
Bird grey overall when in shade, not so in sunlight.
Note faint median covert bar cf Yellow-browed high contrast wing.



20260216 Hume's Leaf Warbler
The bird continually flitted as with most Yellow-browed's.
Called infrequently but was loud, sharp and disyllabic when within range.
