White-throated Robin, Hartlepool

Wow. Had to go for this one!!
No major parking rush, no crowd visible only a slight ajar gate gave it away and through we went into a nice walled garden.  Bird in one corner, 30 or so birders along one side.



 It sat down like a chicken after eating something massive.  Cant see it going far but at times it didnt look too chipper.

A local rascal on the street riding a quasi BMX shouted in a strange accent "Wats sar eggsiten boot a bard wit'a wheet belly like", er well "Coz its rare", "Can ye kill et like?".  "Yeah if ya want", as OML.
