The above are photographs from the 13th Oct. of the YBW that was trapped and ringed on Copeland Island Bird Observatory. There was another report of one on Rathlin Island. They look so small and fragile, but looks are obviously deceiving as these hardy little Warblers take on a migration over thousands of miles, amazing, how is it possible. Sometimes though when there are easterly winds, they get pushed off course and this week big numbers have been seen on headlands along the south coast of Ireland including Cape Clear; so they have been reported from one end of Ireland to the other. Thanks to David Galbraith who kindly sent in these series of photos.
