Hume's Warbler along Flycatcher Alley but no luck with SEOs (again!)

On Wednesday 4 February, it was good day to have A/L, as a message about a Hume's Warbler was What's App'd and I made my way there but no sign initially. Once James W and Jon B who had initially looked from along the cliff top joined me, the bird was soon picked up. The excellent Hume's Warbler, it moved quickly through ivy clad trees along the south end of Flycatcher Alley and then along the trees by the Oval wall and then disappeared in bushes just the other side of the wall. It repeated this circuit 3X although went missing for long periods. It never showed that well for me. 2 Treecreepers recorded 1 seen, hopping up a tree by the Oval wall and another bird heard just west of the path. A Firecrest was seen aroundd the trees along the slope. meanwhile in the north- east corner of the Oval, the fine flock of 13 Fieldfares, 2 Redwing and a Song Thrush seen in the corner near the cricket nets. They eventually flew to trees bordering the Oval north wall. I then went to a site for SEOs which was incredibly difficult to find, a verge cutting tractor also hampered my drive down for 20 minutes, when I got to the Church, I viewed from the field as there appeared to be no footpath leading out to the marshes. A chackling Fieldfare was heard and Song Thrush seen plus a female Marsh Harrier quartering the marshes. I have now had no luck with SEOs at 5 sites this year.
