I was off Shetland for a couple of days when the Chestnut Bunting appeared but thankfully it hung around for me to enjoy its subtle beauty yesterday afternoon. Today, in somewhat testing conditions, this pod of 6 Orca put on a monochromatically magnificent display just 5 minutes from home.

There must be so many invading geese in the country. Checked another flock of Pinks today and turned up another pair of Tundra Beans and 4 Russian Whitefronts #goolefields #yorkshirebirding #ukbirding

Well, the forecast certainly promised more than it delivered… a decent day on Holy Island with Firecrest and 2 Shorelark the standouts, plus YBW, 3 Black Redstart, Ring Ouzel, 12 Woodcock and a smattering of common migrants. Plenty to keep the interest, but the jackpot bird wasn’t to be! #NEBirding
