Back down to Sandlodge this morning to see whether the Red Flanked Bluetail was about. Only two others watching and they said it had been present earlier
I watched for two hours and saw it 5 times, but it only showed for a short time
Today it was also ranging further along the tree line and onto the top wall. On a couple of occasions a Robing chased the RFB further into cover.
Even from yesterday there was less leaves on the trees so easier to watch, that's when it turned up.
The North Roe bird was far more confiding, this one spends a long time deep in cover
A few other birds around include a Richard's Pipit at Garths Ness and another at Geosetter, the Blyth Reed warbler at Spiggie along with the Gt White Egret, a few Yellow Browed Warblers, Blue tits , Dusky warbler at Swinster and a Waxwing in Lerwick
