..the Cape May was my fourth species of American Warbler for the autumn of 2023, one could argue autumn continued through to the following April, my sixth species being this stonking male Myrtle Warbler in a Scottish garden on 14th.

This may be contentious, but I think a decent sunset is better than an #Aurora, more frequent, and much easier to see. AND, you don't need a camera to appreciate one.

Without doubt the smartest bird of the day has been Johnson's Today-tyrant, which must be one of South Americas smartest flycatchers.

Almost 36 years & maybe a mile apart ~ the New Hythe Yellow Warbler is almost within shouting distance of the monster supermarket sweep of Larkfield in 1989: the Golden-winged Warbler famously & so memorably did the right thing for vast hordes of admirers 😎 (GWW pic D Cottridge)
