On this day #OrkneyBirding ... Black-throated Thrush is the first for #Orkney with seven subsequent records, the most recent in 2025. Surprisingly, nearly half of the county's 21 Melodious Warblers have been away from North Ronaldsay.

On this day #OrkneyBirding ... the first county record of Eyebrowed Thrush is the standout find today. From the opposite direction the last two of our four Yellow-billed Cuckoos were found. The Northern Harrier became a long-stayer recorded off and on into 2017.

On this day #OrkneyBirding ... the expected showing of Nearctic waders include the first record of Long-billed Dowitcher. Three Honey-buzzards found on this day in 2000 sadly included a moribund bird. 13/19 of today's finds come from @northronbirdobs.bsky.social.

On this day #OrkneyBirding ... the first county record of Pallas's Grasshopper Warbler (all three records have been on North Ronaldsay). The Gull-billed Tern is the most recent of the four county records. Likewise, the River Warbler is the most recent of three records.

On this day ... no fewer than three county firsts have been found - Sandhill Crane, Yellow-breasted Bunting and Yellow-browed Bunting. A typical selection of Nearctic waders and the multiple-bird record of Buff-bellied Pipit.

On this day ... the 1992 Yellow-breasted Bunting was the first of five found in the '90s. Also a notable date for Great Snipe and Citrine Wagtail. Quite typically for here, 17 of 25 birds found on this day were found in the North Isles, and 10 of them on North Ronaldsay. #OrkneyBirding #rarebirds

On this day . . .
Lesser Kestrel at @northronbirdobs.bsky.social is by far the stand out find in Orkney on this day among the expected cast of waders. The Yellow-breasted Bunting was the fifth of nine records here (all on the farther flung isles), the last in 2003.

Weather shite so I continued w/ something I started some time ago, producing a list of Orkney scarce and rare bird records in calendar order. So here's what has been found in Orkney on 19 September. Cretzschmar's Bunting the standout find - 2nd county & 4th British record. #OrkneyBirding #rarebirds

Wryneck trapped and ringed at the Observatory this morning!

It is the 41st Calf record (first since 2019) and the 22nd to be ringed on the island. A surprise on a quiet morning - amazing to see up close!
