04/11/2017 Dusky Warbler at Sandwich Bay

Saturday 4 November 2017
Sandwich Bay


On a miserable, wet day I journeyed to Sandwich Bay to see the Dusky Warbler.  


  • When I arrived there were 8 other birders, including Lee Evans, on a mound overlooking a clump of trees.  The warbler had been seen on and off all morning, following a familiar loop around the bushes just ahead of us.  After a while, it appeared but quickly flew to an adjacent bush, then into an area of scrub, then into a huge gorse bush.  Lee moved around the bush trying to lure the bird out using sound mimicking techniques.  It then flew some 20-30 metres, allowing us good views, before disappearing.

Well done Lee Evans!
