Found this Hume’s Warbler in Feal plantation, this afternoon. Only the second record for Fetlar.

Pleased to find this Pec Sand at Weatherhead this afternoon. Always distant so heavily cropped pics.

Found this Bluethroat at Funzie this afternoon, such a skulker, only saw it out in the open once in well over an hour.

Very few migrants on show today, just a couple of Chiffs and this Yellow-browed Warbler which has been at Leagarth for nearly a week now.

Must have checked thousands of Goldies this Autumn trying to find an American Golden Plover. Finally I found this pristine juvenile at Funzie this afternoon.

The weather beat me today but I managed to come across this stunning Long eared Owl before I headed home.

Yellow-browed Warbler numbers have been relatively poor this Autumn and most of them have been quite elusive. This one put on a show today at Leagarth.

Found this Olive-backed Pipit at Funzie Willows this afternoon

Managed to see 3 Merlins today… and a few thousand Redwings!

Hummingbird hawk-moth at Funzie this morning

Peregrine is still a scarce bird on the patch, this one found between Tresta and Northdale today

Better weather and better views of the RBFly today

A combination of seriously strong winds and a very elusive bird meant it took me an hour to get a few brief glimpses of this Red-breasted Flycatcher, at Tresta, today (found late afternoon yesterday by John Sweeney)

Originally found on Tuesday (by Andy Cook) this Turtle Dove has been extremely elusive since. I’d seen it twice but only from distance and, more often than not, in flight, until today. I re-found it among a flock of c30 Rock Doves on Houbie beach.

Merlin and a couple of Ruff were the best I could find today

Pied Flycatcher at Northdale and a distant Grey Plover at Funzie (quite possibly the regular returning bird)

Barred Warbler at Funzie and a Spot Fly in my garden.

A young juvenile Stonechat at Northdale mires, this afternoon.

Great Northern Diver, off Brough jetty, today.

Almost forgot, found a Snipe nest too.
