Yellow browed warbler - Cathays Cemetery

Its nice when birds find you rather than the other way round.

I am lucky that my work backs on to Cathays Cemetery (south section) and I have seen some nice birds over the years. I was working out in the yard when I heard a yellow browed calling from the sycamores backing on to our compound. Unfortunately I was without binoculars but decided to take a look. I was lucky enough to find it feeding low down in the sycamores when it gave close views. A good site tick for me.

I believe it was seen later on by others.
