Surely that Nutcracker dam will burst soon and one will make it across the Channel. I don't know what the build up was ahead of the 1998 Kent bird (the last to make it here). Orkney and Shetland have only one record each so I won't hold my breath for an #OrkneyBirding one. #rarebirds

Brilliant, Steph. Grey and white birds very much the norm up here from October onwards. Them that peep go down as tristis and them that don’t as collybita. Tristis also often on the ground.
