Found out today that our mixed singing warbler has actually been around for some weeks! Oh well! had a good listen today and had a brief view It is quite pale on the throat for a Willow Warbler and likewise above which is strangely suggestive of a bird of more easterly origins. Interestingly two pale Eastern-type Willow Warblers were reported on the Essex coast at the same time that this one arrived.
