Another first winter Casp on SMI Wetland this morning, maybe suggesting an influx after these south-easterlies?

Compared to recent years it鈥檚 been a quiet autumn at SMI for Casp Gulls thus far, so this 1st W off the prom this morning broke what had been a significant barren period here.

PG Tips at Valyie this morning, typically not easy to get to grips with and to get an image was a bonus!

A mega male Hawfinch at Valyie, Unst yesterday, scrabbling around with the local sparrow flock on seed scattered on the track. Brill!

This juv Hen Harrier made a close pass as we were viewing the RB Shrike yesterday. Most likely the same individual as we saw on the opposite side of the island a week ago.

Fresh from joining the Blue Robin Dippers Club, the Quendale Two-barred Warbler offered some reasonable compensation yesterday.

We鈥檝e flushed this flighty Com Rosefinch three days running from a neighbouring garden but it took until this morning to finally get the camera on it!

It was blowing a bit of a hooley across Unst yesterday, so was pleased to jam in on these two BB Sands hunkered down in a roadside field.

A few more migrants today to keep us on our toes. This Barred Wblr up at Skaw and a flighty Rosefinch in our accom garden were the best we could come up with.

This mornings entertainment was provided by this fine juv Pallid Harrier which gave a couple of reasonably close fly pasts as it ranged the Balliasta area of Unst.
