Hampshire birding and beyond

Yet again another decent Warbler. I have seen one before in East Sussex when I was younger however I'll admit the views were very very poor so this was most welcome and felt like a tick all over.  Although this River Warbler could be fairly elusive at times it was a showy bird as far as they go.  I spent a total of 3hrs with this bird at Wester Quarff and had some amazing views of it but generally it wouldn't show in the open for longer than 5 seconds before it scurried off back into the hedge or rocks that surrounded the garden hence why I only managed 2 useable pics in the time I was there however ot was by far better than the beachy head bird? 

Another day and another decent Warbler. We were taking another look at the Pallas's Warbler when news broke of a Booted Warbler type at Sumburgh Hotel. Once we got round to the hotel no one was quite sure where the bird was or had gone but soon after it was relocated down the road feeding along a beach and in a garden.  Luckily a few record shots had been taken confirming it was indeed a Booted and not what I had hoped for Syke's Warbler. The bird was very elusive in strong winds and views were very brief and not at all ideal. I had seen 2 Booted Warblers before this bird but all have been elusive and this bird was seemingly no different.  A few days passed and the weather had got increasingly better with very calm conditions and blue skies. We decided to re pay it a visit and it didn't disappoint. Walking the outskirts of the garden I flushed it up un-intentionally (along with a Woodcock) out of the grass where it perched up nicely on a fence just metres away from...
