    Frustrating birds!

    Yellow Browed was a species that eluded me for a number of years until I started a job where they are almost annual now within 500 metres of the clocking station. I've now been lucky enough to have seen over 10. Beautiful bird in my opinion very underrated.

    tough one - NE England

    Although not really identifiable from the photo the one that I saw was less than half a mile away and within 15 minutes so could quite possibly be the same bird. One also seen in the same area this morning
