@hughharrop.bsky.socialThe third North American Baird's Sandpiper of the Autumn was at Dalsetter here in Shetland today. Less than 20 Shetland records and amazing that all three in 2026 have been within a few kilometres of each other! #BirdingScotland #UKbirding #RareBirdsUK #Birds #UKWildlife
@southhamsbirder.bsky.socialTook a while, but eventually ended up with good views of the 2 nr Pec Sands at Carsington Water this morning from Millfields Carpark #DerbyshireBirds #UKBirding #RareBirdsUK
@ukraritiesdaybyday.bsky.social@ukraritiesdaybyday.bsky.social@hughharrop.bsky.socialDistant views yesterday but today enjoyed incredible views of the juvenile American Black Tern (form 'surinamensis') at Loch of Tingwall, Shetland. #BirdingScotland #UKbirding #RareBirdsUK #Birds #UKWildlife
@hughharrop.bsky.socialA short video of Britain's third and Scotland's first-ever Egyptian Nightjar at Virkie, Shetland on Saturday afternoon. An incredible bird. #BirdingScotland #UKbirding #RareBirdsUK #Birds #UKWildlife

@dougiepreston.bsky.socialAmerican Black Tern at Loch of Tingwall this evening. Was happy just twitching this as a regular 'Black' for my Shetland list, but always happy to be upgraded..... Great find by Paul Sclater 😎👍 #YellBirding #RareBirdsUk #Shetland
@hughharrop.bsky.socialEnjoying more amazing views of the Pallid Harrier at Brow Marsh, Shetland this evening. It’s also midgetastic 🦟 #BirdingScotland #UKbirding #RareBirdsUK #Birds #UKWildlife

@ukraritiesdaybyday.bsky.social@ukraritiesdaybyday.bsky.social@hughharrop.bsky.socialAnd then there were two! Watching the long-staying Pallid Harrier at Brow Marsh, Shetland last Thursday and delighted to find a second individual. Both birds put on a brilliant display as they glided around the marsh before going to roost. #BirdingScotland #UKbirding #RareBirdsUK #Birds #UKWildlife

@baldbirder.bsky.socialA showy Golden Oriole at Dungeness, near the watertower, this afternoon! Brilliant stuff as it posed nicely out in the open for a few minutes at a time. Happy dayz... @rarebirder.bsky.social @dungenessbirdobs.bsky.social @kentishplover.bsky.social #RareBirdsUK #kentbirding
@henrywynjones.bsky.socialBritish-born juvenile Montagu’s Harrier at Wallasea Island this morning (likely ring code HH). Absolute peach of a bird that glowed in the morning sun as it quartered over scrapes holding Red-necked Phalarope, Curlew Sands and Little Stints! #RareBirdsUK
@hughharrop.bsky.socialBritain's third and Scotland's first-ever EGYPTIAN NIGHTJAR at Virkie, Shetland this evening. A brilliant find by Roger Riddington. Stunning. #BirdingScotland #UKbirding #RareBirdsUK
@hughharrop.bsky.socialWow. Watching this EGYPTIAN NIGHTJAR sat outside Roger Riddington’s house at Virkie, Shetland. What a bird! #BirdingScotland #UKbirding #RareBirdsUK
