A strange coincidence

                                   Red Skies over Foxhill tonight.

A bright day with a cool N>3 but warm in the sunshine. Early morning had cloudless blue skies with several Mipits over >S but very high still coming over till after midday.
As I was closing up the garage this evening at 1710 hours a quick look around for Pinkies found a single Bunting overhead heading >N in the direction of Soil Hill. Although I had no bins I could see it clearly very light underneath and unlike Reed Bunting its wings were longer than its short knotched tail. Unfortunately the bird never called, or not that I heard for the traffic, but my immediate thought was Lap Bunt although I had to dismiss it as one that got away.On the way home I had that knattered feeling you,ve all had when you think you,ve had a goody but can,t be sure and then to make it worst I got the grapevine call from DJS reporting a possible Lap Bunt over Soil Hill picked up on call by JW. If  JW had just got the bird and the message was put straight out it was probably one and the same ?
Was it or was,nt it,  we,ll never know.
