I arrived on my birthday this year and had some pretty good birds but no lifers. Isabelline Shrike, Olive-backed, Richard's Pipit, Little Bunting, Common Rosefinch, Hawfinch & plenty of Yellow-browed Warblers made it a good start. Siberian Stonechat was added the following day at Hoswick and was quickly followed by a Buff-bellied Pipit that afternoon at Rerwick. Unst yet again produced the goods with a smart Pechora Pipit and a hornemann's Arctic Redpoll. On the way back from Unst one day we notched up Blyth's Reed Warbler at Colliforth along with Wood Warbler, Yellow-browed & Garden Warbler. A quick stop in at Lower Vow after that to catch up with the Spotted Sandpiper which was showing quite well. Other decent birds seen, American Golden Plover, RB Fly, Lapland Bunting, Redstarts ect and on our last day we managed to squeeze in the Great-Reed Warbler that had just been found at Rerwick before we jumped onto the ferry.
