For the last week we have had a lesser whitethroat in our garden in the Heath, Cardiff. We would have been certain of the ID if we had seen it in the summer, but shouldn’t this bird be in Africa?

Hi Penny. Could you possibly contact me about this bird? Have you taken any photos? If it is a Lesser Whitethroat there;s a chance that it could be an unusual race of that species. I can be contacted on johndw at ntlworld dot com. Cheers, John Wilson – rarities committee assistant & webmaster.
