SHETLAND DAY 16-FOUR RUSTIC BUNTING'S IN A WEEK!

The weather continues to be cold and damp, with scattered showers. Birding seems to be getting harder every day, with fewer migrants around. We birded just north of Lerwick today.

List of birds seen today:

1 Little Bunting-Self found
8 Yellow Browed Warbler.
5 Blackcaps

1 Slavonian Grebe
1 Sedge Warbler
2 Chiffchaff
4 Song Thrush
8 Robins
4 Wheatear
6 Redwing
48 Tufted Duck
2 Goosander
1 Woodcock

As we were heading home, we heard about another Rustic Bunting just south of Lerwick, so we called in and saw it, which made it number 4 for the trip.
