Eastern Spinebills in winter

Post by Bill Jolly »

Hi Kev and Kay

Well the Spinebills are spreading out this winter!

We just had one at Abberton for the first time in six years, and a delightful surprise it was too.

Is there the making of a pattern here? Our Eastern Spinebill records are:

1988 June
1991 November!!
1993 June
1997 May
2001 April, May
2006 May, June
2012 June (13th)

All records April to June at 3 to 6 year intervals - apart from one abberant holiday maker in the summer of 1991.

All the best

Bill
