From Rob Bate:
Peter,
On Saturday I was walking the Lullwater with a friend after I did the
JBWR trip with Joe Giunta and the Botanical Garden walk. We ran across
two birders staring intently into a tree. They said they had a
Yellow-breasted Chat in a tree and sure enough there was one perched.
It stayed there for at least 5 minutes offering front, back and profile
views, unmistakably a Chat. I didn't see any mention of this bird on
the BBC sightings blog and thought you might want the report if you
didn't have it. This was around 4PM. The bird was located between a
bridge overhead and the Peninsula just before the path turns to head
out to the Peninsula.
Also, we saw the Prothonotary Warbler by West Island.
