First Hume's Warbler Phylloscopus humei in Hungary

On 12/11/2007 a rare bird alert received by many bird-watchers in Hungary about the first ever record of Hume's Warbler on south eastern part of the country. The bird was was found by one of our keen birders while spending his time at work - at least I was told. When opened the window he heard a strange call coming from the brushes. Soon after the bird identified as an Yellow-browed Warbler. Later discussions with others resulted the correction of the ID and the news re-distributed again. Today I drove the area and with a couple of other bird-watchers we immediately found the bird right after sunrise. It was calling continuously and moving fast between the branches. Unfortunately the light conditions did not allow me to take any shot. Definitely a flash and a smaller lens is needed for the future. ______ Please don't hesitate to share your thoughts, feelings and comments on my blog or its content.
