A great couple of days @gibpoint . Thrushes everywhere, 1000s of Pink-feet, Woodcocks in the dunes & a 'Merv'. An excursion to Donna Nook produced the the best views of Pallas's Warbler I've ever had.
ALT Fieldfare. Surely the best Thrush.
ALT Merveille du Jour. 1st site record.
@MOTHIDUK caught this on Shetland last night and struggling with the identification. What do you think? Thanks
