Unst

Eastern Stonechat - BBRC

Pallas's Warbler - Shetland rarity

Bressay

Coues's Arctic Redpoll - BBRC


I think they are the only new birds but happy to be corrected.

Bressay

Lanceolated Warbler - BBRC

Fair Isle

Black-winged Stilt - Scottish rarity


Of course the stilt is also a first for Shetland.


I am assuming the Pallas's Warbler on Unst is the bird from yesterday having moved, and that the Arctic type Redpoll on Bressay yesterday hasn't been confirmed further.

Not sure if the Eastern Stonechat on Mainland has relocated or is a new bird. Anyone know?

Otherwise the Dusky Warbler mentioned upthread on Fair Isle is either a Raddes or possibly Yellow-streaked.
