Yellow-browed Warbler - not as obliging as the last weeks - the Pallas's was impossible!
Pallas's Warbler just W of E soar Farm in long wooded hedgerow - a very vocal bird watched for 10-15mins also Yellow-browed Warbler in same spot. I found perhaps the same Y-b Warbler earlier in a line of willows going NW along a hedge from the large mixed copse well up Starehole Valley toward the converted barn - probably about 300m (across open fields) to other spot.
Also around area:
Lapland Bunting still in ploughed field just NE of East Soar carpark, with nearly 100 Skylarks many Meadow Pipits, Pied Wagtails and Linnets, 6 Wheatear and Merlin.
