Western Sandpiper…….great start to a few days in Scotland with Colin Schofield and Pete Sutton…..Maidens Ayrshire. Plus 1st year Caspian Gull on beach nearby.

Not many words to adequately sum up today! A spring male Pallas’s Reed Bunting was the perfect reminder of what a magic place Fair Isle is, and of the brilliant people I get to share these birds with. 5th for Britain 3rd(!) for Fair Isle Bird Observatory



MEGA! EYEBROWED THRUSH in garden at Gutcher, Yell, Shetland on Sunday 1st June. A cracking bird and a lifer for me. Huge thanks to the finder Christian Melgar and to the lady who's garden it was in.

The Blyth's Reed Warbler in full song this morning down in Quarry at Berry Head. A couple of possible flight views but nothing to definitely confirm ID. Frustrating but that's how it goes sometimes 🤷♂️ RareBirdAlertUK BirdGuides

Finally visited the WWT Slimbridge bluethroat this morning, what a stunner. Being a semi-calm morning he was really showing off, visiting quite a few different perches and singing away. Beautiful bird with partially clouded sun making his throat shine. Free Rare Bird News, UK 🇬🇧
