Storm Petrel yesterday afternoon from the steps of the Papay pier #BirdingOrkney Had walked right past in and would have been none the wiser, had the skipper not then mentioned the funny bird sitting outside!

What a day! Rufous-tailed Robin showed briefly but well at South Landing early, then Radde's Warbler with Firecrest, Yellow-browed Warblers and Bramblings at Thornwick. Then a stunning Isabelline Wheatear and Red-tailed/Isabelline Shrike completed the lineup. #ukbirding #birds #BirdsSeenIn2026

This Firecrest was along the north bank at Girdle Ness late afternoon today. Found by @hughad.bsky.social and only my fourth record here. It's also species 152 for the patch year list, which is a record for me. Still a couple of months to extend it! #Birds #BirdingScotland #PatchBirding #UKWildlife
