Yellow-browed again

On Saturday 18th October, I drove to Corton ORT, as I got out I could hear a Yellow- browed Warbler constantly calling from the Corton ORT and walking down the main track I saw it flitting around in a tree and bushes on the western edges of the track, as soon as I got onto it it flew still calling towards the bridge and not seen or heard again. I am not sure which one as I didn't see it clearly enough to see if it was dull bird or the bright first winter. Later on Andrew E drew up, as he did so a Brambling rasped but not seen. We walked down the track and by the former copse area where Andrew spotted a fine Garden Warbler sat right up at the top of a sycamore tree and we were craning our necks to see it. We later heard Brambling again. I then drove to Corton Church car park as I walked along the western edge of the old SW compound, 3 Sky Larks flew south directly overhead, meanwhile chacking Thrushes in the north- west corner of the compound included a Blackbird and then a Redwing briefly perched up. Walking back to the Church car park, I heard Redwing again and a quick chat with Andrew again.
