But they got some things that he probably won't see elsewhere on his itinerary e.g. Ptarmigan, Brunnich's Guillemot, Manx Shearwater but missed out on some other normally easy local birds like Snow Bunting and Black Guillemot. And a King Eider present yesterday couldn't be found today. Gyr Falcon would have also been pretty nailed on if he'd been able to stick to the original itinerary.</p></blockquote><p></p>
