As distinctive as humei is, ssp mandellii (winters Thailand for example) at this season I can rarely separate from YBW unless vocalising. Even some humei in India, something about the temperate, UK gloom brings out the subtle differences better.

Just a bizarre disjunct population of the buzzard. Did you read that White-eyed Buzzard has even been photographed there. No idea how it ended up there.

I had it down as coast road between Newlyn and Lamorna for the photo in late am. But originally we had it at Trengwainton Carn before that.

The Ceyx seems to only have the narrowest of intergrade zones too (if at all). Borneo will end up with close to 100 endemics at this rate! There's also a couple of cryptic undescribed species coming soon

Superb - I so rarely see them actually feeding. Was it clucking too? Such a unique bird.

These seabirds tracks are quite something, numerous species spending prolonged periods in the Banda Sea, yet I've not recorded any if them either!
