Exceptional views of the North American Grey-cheeked Thrush at Quarff, Shetland today. With just five of us watching it, the bird hopped around unconcerned and fed just a few metres away. #BirdingScotland #UKbirding #RareBirdsUK #Birds #UKWildlife

Blackpoll Warbler at Glen today, a good find by Calum Scott and only the second record for Barra, a day short of a year since the first record. #BirdingScotland #RareBirdsUK

Stinky Bay, Benbecula becomes a temporary home to storm driven Grey Phalaropes most autumns. This cracker was as usual showing very nicely. #BirdingScotland #BirdingOuterHebrides

Completed my Yank passerine hat-trick on Barra today (REV & Swainson’s Thrush the other 2), this Blackpoll Warbler not only a Scottish tick, but a Barra & find as well! Hopefully not too long a wait for my 4th American passerine! #Barrabirders #Barraboys #BirdingScotland

A big splash of colour at Tresta today with this beautiful first-winter Golden Oriole offering lovely views. Golden 'O's are scarce migrants to Shetland with the vast majority of records in spring and only a handful of records in October. #BirdingScotland #UKbirding #RareBirdsUK #Birds #UKWildlife
