  Portland Bird Observatory - birds sightings August 2002   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
After a clear, moonlit night it was perhaps predictable that the Melodious Warblers and the Booted Warbler had moved on, and it was no great surprise that common migrants were thin on the ground.
Melodious Warblers remained a feature in and around the Obs garden, where the 3 birds present included a new individual that was trapped and ringed.
The Melodious Warbler first trapped on 31st July was retrapped in the Obs garden and later seen briefly in the adjacent Hut Fields, an escaped Vitelline Masked Weaver visited the Obs garden during the afternoon, and elsewhere there was a Hobby at Reap Lane and 10 Sanderling at Ferrybridge.

Clamorous Reed Warbler Acrocephalus stentoreus apparently predating nest of Booted Warbler Hippolais caligata in the United Arab Emirates
The Booted Warblers became increasingly aggressive as the Clamorous Reed Warbler entered a low bush on the outer edge of the mangrove.
During 11-14 May 1998, I found several other nests of Booted Warbler in the same general area, all in low bushes at the edge of mangrove.

 OSME - Booted Warblers in north-eastern Turkey
During each visit (lasting one to three days) we also found Booted Warblers Hippolais caligata as follows: one or two on 20 August 1988 (VD), two or three on 15 August 1990 (FS), one on 29 August 1991 (TS) and one on 5 August 1993 (FS, TS, R. Muheim).
As structure, colouration and behaviour were similar in all birds, we give a short composite description based upon all birds.
Booted Warblers were often conspicious, being encountered at the edge of small bushes and on boulders, often exhibiting flycatcher-like behaviour.

It was rather calm throughout the period, and the last couple of days temperature rose a bit inspiring a hope of Lanceolated Warbler, but that was not to be.
It is merely a meadow with a stream and two rows of hedges in the otherwise forestry region.
The Booted Warbler reported earlier remained silent or gone.

 Khor Kalba: A preserve to reserve
Booted warbler is the other species for which Khor Kalba is critically important.
The estimated breeding population, 5 - 20 pairs, is so small that, should this habitat degrade, it faces a significant risk of extinction and loss of the breeding species from Arabia.
The booted warbler nests in fairly young mangroves, possibly selecting those that have been grazed by camels because these have dense foliage nearer the ground.

 BirdForum - How did Booted Warbler get its name?
The caliga was the lightweight Roman Army shoe / boot.
Michael is right - the caliga was a smooth Roman shoe or boot, and the scientific name calligata refers to the fact that the bird has smooth (or unscutellated to be technical) tarsi - hence Booted Warbler
And there was me thinking that one was skulking in a bush once and somebody kicked the bush and this small bird came flying out............

I have no experience with Manchurian Reed Warbler, but I have seen many Black-browed Reed Warblers and several Paddyfield warblers.
I don't think that Paddyfield Warbler could be eliminated on facial pattern.

 Acrocephalus scirpaceus
The Reed Warbler can be found almost exclusively in reedbeds during the breeding season.
The Reed Warbler lacks the broader tails and clearer eyestripes of Savi's and Cetti's Warblers and the impressive size of a Great Reed Warbler.
This leaves Marsh and Blyth's Reed Warbler which are exceptionally difficult to separate from Reed Warbler but far less likely to be seen in reedbeds.

Whereas the Olivaceous Warbler was easily identified, here I was confronted with a bird that I was unable to immediately place to genus, let alone species.
Hippolais warblers, but, perplexingly, none of these seemed to fit either: it was too small for Olivaceous Warbler, but also had the wrong head pattern and too large a bill for Booted Warbler

Despite my lack of sleep and very sore head, it became clear that the bird had gone (confirmed later by Andy who had not drunk as much red wine the night before and whose eyes were working a lot better than mine).

 Birdwatching Trip Report from Extremadura ,The Pyrenees, Zaragoza, Monfrague, Trujillo and Caceres, Picos de Europa, La ...
Started seeing Black Kites from about 30 miles north of Bordeaux, with lots over the ring road.  A tea stop in the Landes de Gasgogne produced only Great Spotted Woodpecker and Crested Tit.  Arrived at Oloron in the Northern Pyrenees at 22:30 and spent the night.
Driving down the Valley we noted another Lammergeier and a Red-backed Shrike.  At the campsite a Wryneck and Bonelli's warbler were present.  Closer to the main road Chris saw a Pratincole (Collared?) flying up the valley, I was concentrating on the road!.
Lunched at Villarreal de San Carlos, and then decided to spend the rest of the day at the bar at Camping Monfrague.  Sitting on the veranda with beers and scopes we watched singing Hoopoes, Azure-winged Magpies, a hybrid Spanish x House Sparrow and heard Short-toed Treecreeper.  In the night Scops Owl was again heard.

It was wasn't long after this that we saw our first Black and White-winged Larks, and a visit to a small orchard revealed Booted Warblers in song, migrant Common Redstarts and Willow Warblers, and a roosting Long-eared Owl that made a quick exit on our approach.
Passerines out here were largely made up of the hundreds of Black Larks that lined the dirt roads, Yellow Wagtails of the race beema, a few of the Central Asian form of Twite, and we found a delightful nest of a Booted Warbler with four eggs.

You can park opposite Palm Bay school (once an overgrown carpark that has harboured Red-backed Shrike and Booted Warbler in its time) and walk along the clifftop or round the back of the putting green to the Ridings, a broad swathe of unmown grass that separates the cliff edge from the local housing estate.
There is a promenade at the foot of the cliff along Palm Bay as far as the Point itself; beyond that, there is a real danger of getting cut off by the tide.
Rarities seen at Foreness over the years include Bittern, Cory's Shearwater, Long-tailed Skua*, Sabine's Gull, Richard's Pipit,* Tawny Pipit*, Red-rumped Swallow*, Bluethroat, Aquatic Warbler*, Melodious Warbler, Booted Warbler, Barred Warbler*, Pied Wheatear and Arctic Redpoll* but my favourite has got to be the Gyrfalcon* on April 29th 1979.
