First found on the 28 September, this Hornemann's Arctic Redpoll is still present at Toab in the south mainland
These photos are from the second day. Arriving early the bird was briefly seen to the east side of the village before disappearing
I decided to look round the west side and came across the bird feeding near a trailer in a small weedy patch
This is the first time i have seen a Hornemann's Arctic Repoll since one at Veensgarth about five years ago
This is a bird from Northern Canada and Greenland and this year has been exceptional with at least 8 birds arriving in Shetland
It fed along about 20 feet away total unconcerned about the 10 birders looking on
This is a cracking bird and seems well settled
