(sylvia cantilans)
A Subalpine Warbler was found in a sycamore tree close to the Linkhouse Pier at Mid Yell on the island of Yell. Fortunately we were due to drive past close to there on our way back for the ferry to the Shetland Mainland. The bird was quickly found - many thanks to the helpful house owner. Subalpine Warbler has sometimes been split into at least three sub species namely Western and Eastern Subalpine Warbler and Moltoni's Warbler. This bird was at first reported as a Western then changed to an Eastern and still awaits positive identification.
