Over 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

The long-staying North American Buff-breasted Sandpiper at Eshaness. One of at least seven individuals to have made landfall here in Shetland so far this autumn. #BirdingScotland #UKbirding #RareBirdsUK #Birds #UKWildlife
September in Shetland highlights-
American Black Tern, Egyptian Nightjar, Western Bonelli's Warbler and brief views of a Lancy.
Favourite day was the 20th when I found a Buff-breasted Sandpiper with @ljohnbirding1.bsky.social at Eshaness after twitching the Glossy Ibis.
Nice find, Mark. looks a gem. #BirdingScotland

My morning trudge round Girdle Ness wasn't a total waste of time, as I found this lovely Rustic Bunting near the Battery. My first record here.
