@hughharrop.bsky.socialSlowly coming back down to earth after finding this Siberian Blue Robin in our garden here at Hillwell, Shetland last week. The 5th British record and only the 7th for the Western Palearctic. A Holy Grail moment for sure. #BirdingScotland #UKbirding #RareBirdsUK #Birds #UKWildlife

@jonniprice.bsky.socialJuvenile Upland Sandpiper at Woon Gumpus Common, Cornwall. 4/10/26. #rarebirdsuk #ukbirding #cornwallbirds @ukraritiesdaybyday.bsky.social
@jonniprice.bsky.socialOur luck continued for our final day in Cornwall today, when news broke of an Upland Sandpiper at nearby Woon Gumpus Common. After some searching (and rather innovative twitch tactics!) we both managed great views of this cracking little American vagrant. #ukbirding #cornwallbirds #rarebirdsuk

@jonniprice.bsky.socialJuvenile Sora at Porth Hellick Pool, St Mary's, Isles of Scilly. 3/10/26. #rarebirdsuk #ukbirding @ukraritiesdaybyday.bsky.social
@jonniprice.bsky.socialWe totally lucked out on our Scilly day trip today - and not just with the weather! The Sora Rail showed perfectly as soon as we'd squeezed into the hide at Porth Hellick. The crossings were productive too, with 30+ Grey Phal, 50+ Euros, loads of Common Dolphin & 1 Risso. #ukbirding #rarebirdsuk

@hughharrop.bsky.socialThe first year male SIBERIAN BLUE ROBIN that graced our Shetland garden this morning. A fifth for Britain and one hell of a garden tick! Thanks to all that visited and enjoyed this special bird today. #BirdingScotland #UKbirding #RareBirdsUK #Birds #UKWildlife
@anthrobirder.bsky.socialDelighted to get good views of the Sykes's Warbler at Girdle Ness today. I saw it only briefly yesterday morning, realised it was something significant but was unable to pin it down. Later, I scoped the bushes from home and got it on the house list🙃

@hughharrop.bsky.socialOver the moon (to put it mildly) to find this first year male SIBERIAN BLUE ROBIN in our garden at Hillwell, Shetland this morning. The fifth record for Britain and a first for Shetland. #BirdingScotland #UKbirding #RareBirdsUK #Birds #UKWildlife
