CONFIRMED MISINTERPRETATION BY BIRDGUIDES GIVEN THEY DELETED THEIR REPORT I'm not sure whether BirdGuides are misinterpreting messages but, they say ; 22/11 11:45 : Cetti's Wblr, WWT Caerlaverock : singing bird still in reedbed along Peter Scott Trail near visitor centre. PJ

Seen well (& heard singing and calling) at Caerlaverock NNR at 1020hrs. Same place as 14th November; reedbed south of Hollands Farm. (Note this is not the same bird or place as the reports from Caerlaverock WWT/Peter Scott Trail). Dave Pullan.  Ed. Cetti's is very mobile from my own experience, so it could be the same bird that's been on WWT ground. However, Dave sounds confident it's a second bird. Establishing whether there's 2 birds would be significant. Visitors to both sites simultaneously is required. PJ

Should anyone actually use the blog, you're invited to complete a short survey about it. Cheers, Pete 👍. Find it via the navigation menus or, see here .
