This Semipalmated Sanpiper was found on the road, close to Lighthouse Valley, Corvo. Not a place, where you would look for it…

Another great day birding on Shetland. At times both the Greenish and the Subalpine Warblers showed well. The Citrine wasn’t bad either. All photos by @david93955.

The dog flushed a Wryneck at Northward hill last night, and I only had a few flight views, showed better this morning though! ( many thanks to @OreillyReilly2 for early morning call. View from Ernie Hemsley viewpoint

Here’s my theory our bird was Mongolian Sandplover (it did have white on the forehead) and they migrate through Northern Mongolia on their way to Siberia. The Tibetan race only breeds in South Mongolia.
