Walked down to where the subalp had been seen. Wandered around in circles flushing Chiffchaffs and Willow Warblers, until after 20 mintutes, a warbler with White outer tail feathers flew up. Got onto the bird when it perched and sure enough it was the WESTERN SUBALPINE WARBLER. It showed breifly a couple more times before disappearing into the scrub.
Had another look at the bushes in the top field, where I had a couple of breif views of a chat that may have been the bluethroat, but it was getting dark and I was unable to make out any details on it.
When driving back up from the bill towards Southwell, I had a Short-Eared Owl hunting near the roadside from the car window.
