Siberian Chiffchaff – 15th October 2016

At Boulmer today: 5 Black Redstarts, 3 Redstarts, Water Rail, 2 Woodcock, Med Gull, Peregrine, 60 Barnacle Geese etc

I also saw a Siberian Chiffchaff which was silent at first, heard ‘peeping’ later and a Bedraggled Goldcrest in the rain at Boulmer.  Amazing that this bird, the weight of a 10p coin, has just crossed the North Sea.
