Fresh in on the SW's, Magpie is added to the house and Patchwork Challenge list. Still a very good bird this far north in the county, winds are a nightmare for it's tail #PWC2024 #patchgold #CaithnessBirds

Another great day Fair Isle Bird Observatory! Rob Hughes struck again with a Arctic Warbler in the obs garden which was a lifer for me, also the first Yellow-Browed Warbler of the year in Plantation and 3 Rosefinch on top of just a Tennessee Warbler and Pec Sand ! What a place !

Siberian Stonechat new in Fair Isle Bird Observatory today, again found by the unstoppable force that is Rob Hughes and Nina_OHanlon. Nice to compare and contrast today's presumed maurus (left) with last autumn's stejnegeri (right)

New paper, led by Rob Hughes in Mires and Peat: More bird species gain from Flow Country afforestation than loose - BUT there's more declines among red-listed birds. Plus loosers are birds for which Flow Country is more important in UK terms. mires-and-peat.net/pages/volumes/… #PeatTwitter
