... hang on ... that second Yellow-browed is a Pallas's Warbler ...

To his eternal credit, Liam had a sneaking suspicion that one of the "Yellow-broweds" was something different.  First when it was seen it looked "a bit bright" and secondly when Gareth's initial shot's came through showing a super-bright, prominent supercilium.  So, he went to check again first thing this morning and guess what, he was right  ... the brighter bird is a Pallas's Warbler.  A great spring find and a St Ives 20k new bird as well.  The Pilchard's Press will get a bit of a workout soon ...
