Apologies for delay in posting!

Andy Lester, Phil Lord, Doug Munts and myself (birders from Hampshire) were searching for Yellow Wagtails on Tealham & Tadham Moors when Andy, well known in Hants birding circles for his bird sound ID skills, picked up a song that he recognised as a Yellow-browed Warbler. The bird was singing from the back of a small willow some 30 yards south of Totney Drove. We had several brief views before the bird flew east into scrub near Nut Tree Farm and was not relocated.

We had only stopped at the location to let another car pass us and, under any other circumstances, would have missed it completely!
