Yellow-browed Warbler

With some winds finally conducive for migration, a good look around the patch today came up trumps when I found a Yellow-browed Warbler at Sidestrand. It was incredibly elusive remaining unseen for the first hour or so, despite frequently calling, as it did a circuit around the area, but finally after a lot of patience it eventually came out along the sunny edge of the trees and showed well but briefly before vanishing off into the trees again. While searching for it, a few Bramblings, the first of the autumn were noted in the trees too.
 
I then moved on to Trimingham where although no birds of note were seen, this Small Red-eyed Damselfly was found on the clifftop brambles and was presumably of continental origin.
