Subject: [CT Birds] Yellow Warbler causes twitching in Kent, England
Here’s a fun story for New Year’s Eve. Enjoy and Happy New Year, CT Birders!

May you all enjoy a safe, healthy and very birdy 2025!

Twitchers from across the country have descended on a sleepy [Kent](https://www.the-independent.com/topic/kent) village after a rare sighting of an Americanbird.

Birdwatchers from as far away as Yorkshire came to catch sight of the 'extremely rare' American yellow warbler with hundreds making the journey on Christmas Day.

The foreign visitor was first spotted in New Hythe, near Maidstone in Kent, on Christmas Eve - with the bird last being sighted on British shores in 2017.
