Then I made a sonagram of its squeak (thanks to Avisoft SASLabLite) and compared it to the sonagram in the new 'Sound Approach to Birding' (by Mark Constantine and the Sound Approach).

And here's a picture of it...

My adventures in the (drum roll)... World of Birds! Clash! As nobody has been asking, I'll explain. George Bristow was a taxidermist at the hub of the Hastings Rarities scandal. From 1896 to 1939, hundreds of rare birds passed through his shop in St Leonards-on-Sea which he claimed were locally killed. They were later shown to be fraudulent. I'd like to think that at the back of his shop was a time machine linked to a freezer in another dimension, full of dead birds. You read it here first.

Hi Martin,
Nice one, can hear that it was a Yellow-browed alright. How are you finding that new RememBird yoke? Could be useful if faced with a Blyth's Pipit!
Found an Issy Shrike locally today while twitching a juv Woodchat, which I also managed to see. Not a bad day!

It would be fantastic for nailing a Blyth's! Providing it called nice and loud.
