This morning I tried Azamidani to see if any migrants were passing through.
Seems a bit early still, as the Grey-bellied Bullfinch and Red-flanked Bluetail were still there, however all the wintering thrushes had gone.
It seems likely that migrant warblers should be passing through any day now.
Among the Grey-bellied Bullfinch was one male that seemed very red on its chest and belly – almost like a Eurasian Bullfinch. It could be Pyrrhula pyrrhula rosacea.
