Pallas's Warbler near Old Cafe

Typical! I'm writing this from Amsterdam Airport waiting for my flight to Nairobi. Just as I arrived at Manchester Airport, Pete Alderson texted to say he had a fine Pallas's Warbler shoiwng well in the Old Cafe gardens (below the Churchyard). Great find and the first for several years. This is the 4th record for the Great Orme, 23 years after the first record back in 1988. Great find, but I doubt it'll stay 12 days for me :-)
