For a notoriously skulking little visitor from Siberia, the Dusky Warbler found at Westbrook near to Margate on the 8th of November, staying until the 12th, proved to be the most confiding Dusky Warbler I have seen. It had taken a liking to the scrub found below the cliff under the Sunken Gardens at Westbrook and could often be seen foraging for insects on the floor and in and around the coastal vegetation. As is usually the norm with these visiting Warbler types from the far east, they normally only offer fleeting glimpses as they work through bushes and vegetation in search of food but this one afforded superb views on several occasions and was often out in the open allowing the visiting paps to get some reasonable images. Indeed, it made a welcome change to actually get the head and tail of of a Dusky Warbler together in the same frame.
Being so close to home I visited on a few occasions.
