Yellow-browed warbler Great Orme

VA yellow-browed warbler was found on the Great Orme by Pete Alderton at 12.10pm today, the bird frequenting a couple of hawthorn bushes on Marine Drive just past the cafe and turn-off for the limestone pavement car park on the left side of the road under a cliff face. The yellow-browed showed well up to 1.30pm when I left and was mainly in the right hand bush. A spot fly was also there briefly and a couple of willow warblers in the same bush. Early morning a female ring ouzel was on the limestone pavements wall and tree pipit (Pete), snipe and golden plover also recorded along with reasonable numbers of mipits and skylarks.
