This well-marked OLIVE-BACKED PIPIT was a superb find by visiting birder N. Brooks at 4:00pm on the 31st October. Bettered only by the 1st year female BLACK-THROATED THRUSH (see descripion from one of the finders Chris Mills here) in rarity value within the recording area during this exceptional late autumn fall, it was only present for c. 2 minutes in brambles underneath the pines just north of the NOA observatory before being flushed by two dogs and sadly couldn't be relocated.
