A Wood Warbler was reported via Birdguides at Banstead Woods on 10th August, near Harholt. This is the fourth record in our area. Wood Warblers are now very scarce in SE England and especially in the area inside the M25, They are now so rare that a description is now required by the London and the Surrey Bird Clubs for records to be accepted
