Just found an absolutely stonking male Collared Flycatcher at Creachan, a species I've been dreaming of finding for years! This is the first for Barra and the third for the Outer Hebrides. #BirdingScotland #RareBirdsUK

Well that wasn’t on the cards for today!
Savannah Sparrow on Unst, Shetland.
Another great find by Dave (super) Cooper.
22 years since I saw the Fair Isle bird.

Unst has been pretty kind to me down the years with rare Nearctic sparrows, and raised its game today with this, Britain's fourth and Shetland's third Savannah Sparrow. A superb find by the brilliant David 'Super' Cooper.

Thought I’d check how the Birdweather PUC AI hive mind is getting on redefining species distributions unconstrained by the weaknesses of human eyes, hearing and oversight. Here’s a thread of the best new distribution maps starting with Crested Tit - a radical population shift south! #UKbirding

Briefest of views of the pg tips at Norwick #Unst this evening. Flew down the road then across the road and landed on the edge of the road for about a second. Dark tail and rufous rump is all I saw. Top find by @scottiew.bsky.social
