The Aquatic Warbler (Acrocephalus paludicola) is of the family Acrocephalidae which is in the genus Acrocephalus. This is a rare summer resident with a very restricted and localised breeding range in Eastern Europe including Belarus. The autumn migration south to its wintering areas in sub Saharan western Africa begins in early July extending into September. This species has been in serious decline since the 70's and there are now less than 10,000 breeding pairs. In Britain small numbers occur each autumn but in Ireland it has only been recorded on 13 occasions mainly from Cape Clear Island, Co. Cork and the most recent record is also from there on 26th September 1989. Patrick J.

The European Crested Tit (Lophophanes cristatus) or simply Crested Tit is a small perching bird of the family Paridae which is in the genus Lophophanes. The genus name Lophophanes is from the Ancient Greek lophos meaning "crest" and phaino "to show". Its specific name cristatus
is Latin for "crested". It has a widespread distribution in coniferous
forests throughout central and northern Europe and in deciduous woodland
in France and the Iberian Peninsula. In Britain, it is only found in
Scotland and even then is confined to the Caledonian forests of
Inverness and Strathspey. It is absent from Iceland and Ireland.
