| A stunning male Eyebrowed Thrush on North Ronaldsay, Orkney vied for
the top spot in today's rarity highlights, but the Myrtle Warbler and
White's Thrush double in south Mainland Shetland may just beat it after so many people enjoyed them both. Both the
latter birds showed exceptionally well all day, the former relocating to
Grutness after yesterdays brief visit to Virkie, and the latter remaining at
Durigarth just four miles to the north. A Pechora Pipit also visited North
Ronaldsay briefly, whilst Shetland gained a Red-throated Pipit (Boddam)
and three Little Buntings (Eswick, Out Skerries and Fair Isle).
Elsewhere, an Arctic Warbler was on The Lizard, Cornwall and a Red-throated Pipit flew over Pelistry, St Mary's, Isles of Scilly. Rarities lingering on Shetland included the Eastern Subalpine Warbler and Rustic Bunting on Unst and King Eider on Yell, with the Masked Shrike still in Yorkshire and Little Bunting still in the Isles of Scilly. |
