The other day must have taken over 850 photos with the Hume's and Sib Chiffchaff. Headed down to Sumburgh head and then up to Compass Head where i found a few hundred thursh. Most had moved south earlier in the day as the weather was just about perfect for southern movement.
Most of the Thrush were Redwing and about 50+ Blackbird and one odd bird. This turned out to be a first. winter female Black Throated Thrush. i Managed a few photos before another car pulled up and the flock flew towards Sumburgh Head
Like the Hume's, this is another vagrant from Asia, normally found October - March with over <100 records.
I processed the photo later and had a thought that it was this species, I sent it to Hugh Harrop and Pete Garrity who confirmed this, with several people confirming this when posted to the Whatsapp group
