Zitting Cisticola is such a dreadful common name, I much prefer Fan-tailed Warbler. Anyway, Barry Wright found a long overdue Zitting Cisticola at Galloways on the 17th. This first for the area is becoming faithful to a section of Galloways comprising expanses of long grass with scattered low bramble, gorse and broom scrub. On the 17th I was away and couldn't try for the warbler until late afternoon by which time it had become very windy. I tried again early this morning, 18th, also having no luck but a second attempt later in the morning even though it had started raining was very successful, with great perched and flight views.
