hi Peter
I went in to PP late this afternoon, after work, and was surprised to find the Brewster's warbler again at the Lullwater West viewing platform. This area was extremely active with perhaps 10 individual warblers of six species seen in half an hour.

Brewster's Warbler (hybrid) 1 Lullwater West viewing platform around 5pm.
Initially looking like a female/immature Golden-winged Warbler, better looks (frustratingly!) revealed a prominent yellow breast patch, smudged wingbars and a BWWA typed (rather than GWWA) thin eye stripe and facial pattern. It was in fact the same plumage as the Brewster's seen Aug 16th in Prospect and most likely the same individual.
