We are still undecided on the warbler we put up yesterday we have now asked lots of birders and they all think something different. We changed our minds about Bonellis but have suggestions such as Tennessee warbler going all the way back to it might be a chiffchaff. We still think it is wrong for chiff chaff due to the size and colour of legs, amount of green and white not yellow/ creamy underparts . Hey ho!
Today Jill and Sam visited the Up Helly Aa museum, it was well presented and interesting
There is surprisingly, lots of early photo's showing why it's called transvestite Tuesday too!!
While we there in there , news broke if a Siberian blue robin at Hilwell . Being in town, we got there quicker than if we'd been at home which was lucky as we would have missed it. We just got views in flight before it disappeared. No photos sadly.
We had a wander about and checked the bushes at Sumburgh hotel.. it was busy with lots of birds in just half a dozen small trees
It was good to photograph something, yellow browed warblers, blackcaps, chiffy s , siskin, twite.
Then news broke if a two barred warbler at Quendale which was close by. It was tricky, but showed.
It was a fair walk back to the car as there were lots of birders about with some dodgy parking in passing bays. Then we stopped via Levenwick beach for a quick look at the beach.
It was a lovely day.
