2. The Glaucous-winged Gull in Gloucestershire

 

Immature Glaucous-winged Gull Larus glaucescens, Gloucestershire, December 2006 (John Sanders). This bird was at Gloucester Landfill site, Hempsted on 15th and 16th December 2006, but it has not been seen subsequently (until March 2007!); it was trapped and ringed (with a BTO metal ring fitted to the right leg and a blue plastic ring, inscribed with three letters, fitted to the left leg) on the latter date. There is no public access to view Hempsted tip (there are public footpaths in the area but they do not overlook the tip), but keep a look out for this first for Britain anywhere where gulls gather! A detailed article is in preparation for Birding World but, meanwhile, here is a link to a brief account on the Gloster Birder website.

And now a close-up of its head when it was trapped for ringing....
 

 

3. The Sunderland Siberian Rubythroat

 

 

First-winter female Siberian Rubythroat, Sunderland, Co. Durham, October 2006 (Ian Fisher). The bird was present from Thursday 26th until Saturday 28th October.

 

How the Rubythroat frustration could have been avoided

by Brian Unwin

There is always a lottery element whenever a major rarity wings into Britain. Will it turn up in a location where large numbers of birders can easily reach and see it – or will its landing be on a remote island, perhaps only accessible to a comparative few with unlimited funding? If it turns up on a private site and is not visible from a public place, will the owners welcome birders or deny access totally?

Bizarrely, now the facts are known, the first-winter female Siberian Rubythroat that lingered in Sunderland over October 26-28 didn’t quite fit any of these categories. This may not have seemed to be the case when, the morning after it was last seen, there was a brief news flash about its presence with an explanation that it had been in ”a private garden with no access.” However, the truth of the matter, that took another eight days to fully surface, was not nearly so simple. What actually happened had so many twists and turns that it deserves to be in the “you-couldn’t-make-it-up” file.

Several bits of the story emerged during that period, swirling among waves of rumour within the large birding community of Wearside and South Tyneside. The breakthrough came, however, at Whitburn Observatory on November 4 when a boring sea-watch session became suddenly interesting for two of the regulars, ex-miner Tom “Tucker” Mooney and his retired shipyard worker sidekick Walter Moss. This was due to the surprise appearance of a one-time Wearmouth Colliery workmate of Tucker’s, Michael Williams, with a confession: that the rubythroat had spent its three -day visit to Sunderland in his garden.

It emerged that for two days Mr Williams and his sons Paul and Adam had agonised over the identity of the unfamiliar bird regularly feeding on the back lawn of their home in Edgeworth Crescent off Fulwell Road, Sunderland. When the third day – October 28 - came and it was still present they decided they needed help and Mr Williams thought immediately of Tucker, whom he was aware is often at Boldon Flats, a small wetland reserve on the city’s northern outskirts. So that’s where he headed – only to be disappointed; there was no sign of Tucker. This is where the saga veers into tragic-comedy for it turned out that he had been there - but had left minutes before Mr Williams’ arrival.

So instead he broke the news of the mystery visitor to the only birders present – who happened to be probably the sum total of Southend-supporting residents of Edinburgh. On their way to see their team play away against Leeds United that afternoon, they had called at Boldon Flats to twitch the American Wigeon there since the previous weekend. What their eyes were about to focus on, on being invited back to the Williams household, meant they finished the day in ecstasy, despite the 2-0 defeat of their beloved Shrimpers.

The next twist came with their view that someone more experienced needed to be brought in to confirm the rubythroat identification. Because they were far from their normal beat, they didn’t know anyone in the County Durham area, which was why no call was made to any of the dozen or so seasoned birders living within a few minutes’ drive, several of whom had seen Britain’s only other mainland rubythroat at Osmington Mills, Dorset, in October 1997 or the one that stayed for three days on Fair Isle in October, 2003. Instead, as a result of a chance meeting on Fair Isle earlier in the month, the phone rang for Ian Fisher, the recorder for neighbouring Northumberland. The only other birder that got to see the bird was, Mr Williams explained, someone called Keith who arrived with Ian.

Exactly how no one else was able to share in their good fortune is not completely clear as there are two versions of subsequent developments. I heard Ian’s angle on the circumstances when, after hearing on the local grapevine that he had seen and photographed the bird I phoned him on November 3 with a view to producing a news story for national papers, none of which used what I filed. He told me of his mixed feelings about the rubythroat; he had enjoyed seeing it but felt bad about not circulating the news because the residents had asked that the location should be kept secret

They had voiced concerns about a large number of birders descending on their quiet cul-de-sac, he explained. "I tried to arrange for others see it, pointing out a considerable sum could be raised for charity by everyone who came to the house being asked to make a donation, but they were adamant they couldn’t cope with crowds."

 

"It placed me in a very difficult situation. One of the birding basics is that if you see a great bird you spread the word. I have not even been able to tell my best friends about this yet – and I dread their reaction when they hear about this. It was just pure chance that I was invited to give an opinion on the bird - and once I’d seen it was a rubythroat I had to agree to keep the location secret."

 

After Mr Williams’ dramatic 'confession' at Whitburn Observatory the following day their identity became known and, as a result, I went to his home on November 6. He told me that they hadn’t thought about the possible implications of having such a rarity in his garden until the four birders arrived. Their fears were only raised when the visitors spoke of how thousands of people would want to see it. Worried that this might cause disruption to their neighbours, they asked them to not put out the news.

 

After the four left they honoured that agreement. The bird had disappeared (it was not seen after 6pm on the 28^th and the subsequent night was clear, ideal conditions for a departure) by the time news of the bird’ presence in “a private garden with no access” emerged the following morning. However, the scenario would have been different, I feel sure, if Mr Williams had been successful in his initial effort to find and tell his old mining workmate Tucker about the bird.

 

When Tucker and his friend Walter saw Ian Fisher’s photograph of the rubythroat they admitted that, due to their comparative inexperience, they would not have been able to identify it confidently if they had been invited to the house. So they would have had to call other local birders to the scene and, due to the way things operate in the area, it would have been impossible to keep the lid on it. Almost certainly the news would have been circulating nationally by early afternoon and, with the bird showing for another five hours, a lot of people could have seen it – with proper access arrangements.

 

Tucker and Walter believe Mr Williams would have agreed to access if the approach had been made by local birders. They – and others – would have happily volunteered to organise things so that only a small number visited the cul-de-sac at a time. Birders waiting their turn could have used an open area next to a community centre off nearby Fulwell Road or maybe even at The Cambridge pub, 200 yards from the cul-de-sac entrance. The local fish and chip shop would also have welcomed the extra business. With the bird showing so well, regularly emerging from one of  the few small shrubs on the edge of the narrow back garden to forage for invertebrates on the lawn, the turnover of visiting small groups could have been quite rapid.

 

If hundreds of birders had arrived that Saturday afternoon, it would not have caused problems for the wider neighbourhood. Up to 1997 the tight network of streets of terraced cottages on the east side of Fulwell Road were inundated with football fans and their cars every fortnight when there was a home match at Sunderland’s former Roker Park ground, the Fulwell End of which was just 300 yards from the cul-de-sac entrance. Crowds of more than 30,000 were not unusual and on the night of the historic FA Cup sixth round replay against a Manchester United side that included Bobby Charlton, Denis Law and 17 year old George Best, in March, 1964, an estimated 100,000-plus people swarmed into the area.

 

With such a relatively recent history of living with really huge crowds, a few hundred birders turning up for a few hours in this heavily built-up area of Sunderland would hardly have been noticed.

4. The calls of Sykes's and Booted Warblers

 

The calls of Sykes's Warbler and Booted Warbler, as described in the article of this title by Antero Lindholm and Tapio Aalto in Birding World 18 (9): 395-396, may be heard by clicking on the three links immediately below:

Sykes's Warbler 1 Call 1: the “zak” call of a Sykes’s Warbler, Karaoy, south of Lake Balkhas, Kazakhstan, 8th July 2005. A very short call lasting only one-hundreth of a second. Most of the energy is at about 4,000Hz.

Booted Warbler Call 2: the “dsrak” call of a Booted Warbler, Kurgaldzino, near Astana, Kazakhstan, 3rd July 2005. There is a weak pre-syllable, while the main syllable is longer than the “zak” of Sykes’s Warber. Most of the energy is concentrated below 4,000Hz.

Sykes's Warbler 2 Call 3: the rattle of a Sykes’s Warbler, Kurgaldzino, Kazakhstan, 3rd July 2005. A quite high-pitched and fast rattle.
