January 2022 Review

Headline bird

There really isn’t any question as to what the headline bird for January was in Oxon. For many inland birders, a Yellow-browed Warbler is the holy grail of patch birding – finding one is a dream. An inland Pallas’s Warbler is near mythical though – the stuff of legend. In fact, Oxfordshire has never had a record of Pallas’s Warbler. That is until 15:48 on the 5^th, when a Pallas’s Warbler was found at Abingdon Sewage Treatment Works by Gareth Blockley. Mad panic ensued across the county, but as with most finds in Oxon as of late, only 30 minutes of light remained before dusk. For a couple of lucky birders close enough, a rapid twitch was possible. For most though, the next morning would have to do. After a tense night, there was an even tenser wait the next morning, as despite a large number of county birders on site, it took several hours to refind the bird. Fortunately, it was still present, allowing many to connect. Views weren’t great initially, but as the bird remained until at least the 28^th, many better views were had, and spectacular photos of this superb bird soon emerged over the following weeks. Who knows how long the warbler has been present at Abingdon Sewage Treatment Works for? A phenomenal way to start the year and surely the bird of the year already just 5 days into 2022? Would take quite something to beat a Pallas’s Warbler…
