The DNA results are in; the Ashton's is Saxicola maurus, Siberian Stonechat. Good to see that the in the field features were backed-up by the lab result. Not exactly a surprise; had the results come back as stejnegeri then we may as well have given up on field ID!
I called in yesterday (20/01) in glorious sunshine in the hope of getting better photos, but the bird steadfastly stuck to the back of the flash again.

I've now seen two DNA'd Siberian Stonechats and one DNA'd Stejnegers. It seems as if half of the rare birds I go and see these-days are dependent on lab results to confirm ID, but list-wise it's job done on the stonechats (at least until Caspian Stonechat is split).
I've probably seen another 6 or 7 Eastern Stonechat sp too, but doubt most will ever be assigned.

You probably know that you utilize only 10% of your brain.
Mostly, that's because the majority of your brainpower is UNCONSCIOUS.
Perhaps this conversation has even occurred INSIDE your own brain... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's brain 7 years back, while riding an unlicensed, beat-up trash bucket of a car with a suspended driver's license and with $3 in his pocket.
"I'm so fed up with living check to check! Why can't I turn myself successful?"
You've been a part of those those types of questions, right?
Your success story is waiting to happen. All you need is to believe in YOURSELF.
