It's not ofter that I get to see birds with any purple colours in their plumage, but given the untimely passing of megastar Prince it was perhaps fitting that today I caught up with a
Ruddy Kingfisher (purple sheen on the mantle) that has been present for the last couple of days. This is a good local rarity, and only the third individual that I have seen on the patch.

Also present today were a
Forest Wagtail, two
Yellow-rumped Flycatchers, a
Dark-sided Flycatcher,
Asian Brown Flycatcher and an
Arctic Warbler spp.which demonstrated some interest in a tape of Kamchatka Leaf Warbler (but did not actually vocalise).
