@mulbartonbirder.bsky.social2 buff-breasted sandpiper at Lund #Unst this morning #rarebirdsuk Hopefully there'll be an upland sandpiper there tomorrow 🤞 A few days I saw my first buff-breasted in 34 years ago and now I've doubled that.

@collapsedbirder.bsky.socialHere you go, Short-billed Dowitcher, as:
1. One was seen very briefly last week; and,
2. It's now exactly 27 years since the first, as described here.

@hughharrop.bsky.socialAnother lovely bird to see at Eshaness, Shetland yesterday - Glossy Ibis. Once an extreme rarity here, the species is now pretty much annual in autumn and hails from expanding breeding populations in southern and south eastern Europe. #BirdingScotland #UKbirding #RareBirdsUK #Birds #UKWildlife
@hughharrop.bsky.socialEnjoyed incredible views of this North American Buff-breasted Sandpiper at Eshaness, Shetland this morning. #BirdingScotland #UKbirding #RareBirdsUK #Birds #UKWildlife

@alexhj.bsky.socialA Baird's Sandpiper was found at Burleydam Pool in Cheshire on 19 Sept - although the hopes was high another local bird would be found, not many would've had it down for here. What an autumn it is becoming for these. Only my 2nd UK individual after my last on Anglesey in 2009. #RareBirdsUK #Birding

@barrabirder.bsky.socialThe Lesser Yellowlegs, present for its second day on Barra, was again flaunting itself at Allasdale on a rapidly shrinking pool just a few metres from the road. What an absolute treat! #birdingscotland #RareBirdsUK

Several hours into a pub crawl in the south mainland of Shetland I had a call about an Egyptian Nightjar at Virkie. I was in disbelief, we were in the Ness Boating Club just 200 meters away! What a bird!
Video from night two.

@barrabirder.bsky.socialLesser Yellowlegs new in at Allasdale today. With only single previous records for both Barra and Vatersay, this was a very good find by Mark Oksien. #birdingscotland #RareBirdsUK
@ukraritiesdaybyday.bsky.social@hughharrop.bsky.socialLovely to have a Yellow-browed Warbler feeding among the trees in our Shetland garden on Wednesday afternoon. A common breeder in the Siberian taiga forest, 'Yellow-broweds' are regular migrants to our shores. #BirdingScotland #UKbirding #RareBirdsUK #Birds #UKWildlife
