Here are a few shots of the Immature Barred Warbler seen at Dawlish Warren Nature Reserve . The bird showed quite well in the entrance bushes .
The bird is a long distance migrant from Eastern Europe that is more seen on the East Coast of Britain and is a very good bird to be seen in the South West .
Early this morning I had my first 4 Redwing of the Autumn fly over my house in Topsham .
