SHETLAND trip started well with great views of the 1w male SIBERIAN THRUSH at Loch of Asta. Leaking wellies were an issue for a few on this twitch!😬. Now for a week on Out Skerries.

Another failed attempt to find anything in the gullies yesterday but did manage a patch first...BASKING SHARK sailed south mid-morning. A ringtail Hen Harrier north over the sea was a bonus.

A flock of seven Wood Sandpipers at Potter Brompton Carr today was a nice surprise. A while since I heard a bit of song. Six seemed to leave high west. Be interesting to see if a flock of six turns up somewhere tomorrow.

It happens following good breeding seasons which are helped by a good cone crop. Last seen in 2020. Prob small movements in other years.

Ortolan Bunting still present this evening at Wykeham Forest. Area now cordoned off with tape to allow it and its male Yellowhammer admirer more space. Please view from track on right.
Thank you.
