Central Asian Lesser Whitethroat

Last Friday I managed to spend some time with the probable Central Asian Lesser Whitethroat (Sylvia curruca halimodendri) that has been frequenting feeders in a garden in Tynemouth (Northumberland).  The bird showed well on a number of occasions and I managed to obtain several photographs and videos of it.  It was also heard to call on two occasions, a soft 'tek', but unfortunately I was unable to record this.
