We were very capably led by Euclides "Kilo" Campos who was all round brilliant. It was a tough trip, mainly due to the very rugged terrain in Eastern Panama where we spent most time, but I survived. I'll produce several detailed blogs in due course but despite having been back for over two weeks I'm nowhere close to sorting out my photos (although so far have cut them down from almost 4000 to 500). I've still Birding Down Under blogs to complete too.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Here are a few of the Panamanian highlights I managed to take photos of. Paul and Barry would have done much much better with top of the range Canon and Olympus kit. I was using a Sony RX10 bridge camera I'd only had for a couple of weeks and a lot of the time it showed.</span></p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

Today would be penguin day. At dawn we were off the sheltered eastern side of Macquarie Island. Despite being a small barely inhabited island 1500km SE of Tasmania and 1200km south of Bluff (our departure/return port) we needed Australian visas and strict biodiversity supervision of our time there. Although this was made available from 07:00 Macquarie time, that was 2 hours behind New Zealand/ship's time. It was frustrating to be sat offshore waiting to land although we saw a few birds and watched the zodiacs being lowered from the deck. Once boarded we zodiac cruised a short way along the coast to an <b>Eastern Rockhopper Penguin</b> colony. Jonathan Rossouw was our driver on this occasion and a bit further along the coast he spotted a small group of <b>Gentoo Penguins</b> on the beach. Views weren't great for photography as the swell kept us at a distance and I failed to keep the birds in frame. We wet landed in Sandy Bay which was covered with <b>King</b> and<b> Royal Penguins</b> and Elephant Seals. Four new penguins in less than an hour! Our morning with the penguins at Sandy Bay was truly amazing, one of my best mornings ever. I reluctantly returned for lunch and would have stayed if it had been allowed even though we would be returning for the afternoon. It was more of the same, with slightly better Gentoo Penguin views on the way, but I was reluctant to leave after our second visit too and was one of the last off. Macquarie was somewhere I'd wanted to visit for many years, I had great expectations and it easily exceeded them. Absolute wow! Back on board there was time for some seawatching before dusk as we slowly followed the coast south. Birds I saw, with penguin numbers being wild guesses, were <span style="line-height: 107%;"><b>Kelp Gull </b></span><span style="line-height: 107%;">30, </span><span style="line-height: 107%;"><b>Brown Skua</b> </span><span style="line-height: 107%;">15, </span><span style="line-height: 107%;"><b>King Penguin</b> </span><span style="line-height: 107%;">5000+, </span><span style="line-height: 107%;"><b>Gentoo Penguin</b> </span><span style="line-height: 107%;">9, </span><span style="line-height: 107%;"><b>Royal Penguin</b> </span><span style="line-height: 107%;">30000+, </span><span style="line-height: 107%;"><b>Southern Rockhopper Penguin</b>

We continued heading south through the night, were up seawatching soon after dawn and anchored off the Auckland Islands at 07:00. An early breakfast soon followed, in preparation for our first landing on a Subantarctic Island. Along with 60 or more others we'd chosen to opt for the all day walk around Enderby (one of the smaller Auckland Islands) and so would be amongst the first to be landed there. We felt the circular walk offered us the best chance of seeing Subantarctic Snipe and a good selection of other species. It was to be a wet landing, as all landings during the cruise would be. This involved the front of the zodiac being run up onto the beach and one shuffling to the front and alighting into shallow water. We had been issued with muck boots to keep our feet dry and needed them when transferring into and out of zodiacs from the ship too. Sensibly lifejackets where compulsory in zodiacs although I'd struggled to put mine on over binoculars the previous day. With the Muck Rooms where boots and lifejackets were stored was on Deck 3 near our cabin it seemed sensible to grab ours and change into them in our cabin. I took my binoculars off to make it easier to put on the lifejacket but when we landed on Enderby I realised I'd not put them back on. Bins and spare in our cabin - how stupid. Hopefully the birds would be confiding and I'd be able to see them through my camera lens. Fortunately this worked well in the open habitat with most birds although when seeing something I kept reaching for binoculars which weren't there. The circular walk was longer than expected, not helped by being quite rough in places, but it was definitely be best choice and we saw pretty much everything we'd hoped for. Highlights were my first <b>Light-mantled Sooty Albatrosses</b> which were superb, brilliant views of a <b>Subantarctic Snipe </b>with another seen in flight, ridiculous views of a pair of <b>Double-banded Plovers</b> (an endemic race) and the endemic Auckland Teal and displaying <b>Southern Royal Albatrosses</b>. Once back on board we continued seawatching as we headed south seeing more <b>Light-mantled Sooties</b> and my first<b> </b><b>White-headed Petrels</b> which I really took to. I was not so keen on Soft-plumaged Petrels, missing several despite skipping dinner, but tomorrow should offer more chances as we'd be at sea all day.<b> </b>Birds I saw during the day were:<b> </b><b>Auckland Teal </b>5, <b>Double-banded

Our first night on board was fairly choppy and I rolled about a bit as we voyaged south. My berth was perpendicular to the ship's sides although I'm not sure if that was advantageous or not. We were up soon after 05:00 and on deck 6 overlooking the stern seawatching from 05:30-09:00 when we arrived off the Snares. There were lots of seabirds although it was hard to find shelter, commonest were </span><b>Cape Petrels</b>, unidentified <b>prions</b>,<b> </b><span><b>Sooty Shearwaters</b> and <b>Common Diving Petrels</b>. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span>After a quick breakfast we were back on deck watching the zodiacs being winched from the rear deck </span>down onto the sea. One appeared to deflate on the way but the others were prepared and came alongside to the gangway in turn to be loaded, 10 per boat. This was a slow process with 13-14 zodiacs to load and each passenger being guided by two crew (one on each arm) from the loading platform to two in the boat. For us, in one of the last zodiacs, it took almost two hours before we departed. We were on the zodiac for almost 3 hours, cruising close, sometimes very close up and down the Eastern coast of the main island. It was brilliant, allowing close views of hundreds of <b>Snares Penguins</b>, one the rocky shore and it the water. Other highlights were good views of <b>Snares Fernbird</b> and the all black <b>Snares Tomtit</b> but it was only when we were back on board the Heritage Adventurer that we learned, despite all zodiacs being in radio contact with each other and the mother ship, that several zodiacs had encountered a Snares Snipe (seen by a few, heard by more) and others a vagrant White-throated Needletail. This was disappointing although our driver being a botanist probably didn't make a difference to whether we saw those species or not. Not matching clients interests to the expertise of the guide with them was the one area where the expedition arrangements could have been better, for birders as well as non-birders. Despite the cruise being called Birding Down Under many of the clients were not particularly keen birders with fewer than 25% appearing on deck with any regularity. It shouldn't have been difficult to arrange for the keen birders to always be in zodiacs with bird guides. As it was it was pot luck whether one's zodiac driver's expertise matched the interests of those with them. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">We were back on board for a late lunch by 14:00 and soon after we headed south. Seawatching from deck continued to be excellent (<b>Black-bellied Storm-Petrels</b>, various <b>Albatrosses</b>, <b>Northern Giant</b> and <b>Mottled Petrels</b>) although we realised that the rear of deck 5 or alongside the bridge on deck 6 were more sheltered. Seawatching was interrupted late afternoon by a biosecurity check as the following day we would be going ashore at Enderby (one of the Auckland Islands). Depending on who was checking you this could be an easy process although on my first go I was sent away to remove some tiny seeds from velcro and webbing. Velcro is the main culprit, something I wished I'd known when choosing what to bring. I returned to deck for more seawatching, with a break for dinner, writing up brief notes after dark (22:00). A long day! There was a programme of talks with one or two most afternoons, many of which sounded interesting and it would have been nice had they been recorded so one could see them at a later date. As it was none beat the draw of seawatching so I missed them all. Neither did attending a bird log although if we were landing somewhere the following day we turned up to hear what the options were. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Birds I saw during a brilliant first day proper were: Red-billed Gull 20,

It is ordered by year with the most recent first. </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Blogs of the older trips use scanned slides, some having degraded badly with age, or digitised
prints of varying quality</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Some use photos taken by those I was with. These are usually easy to tell as they are significantly better than mine (and</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"> in most cases</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"> acknowledged)</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Many of the older blogs are based on my unreliable memories as my notes were very lacking in detail, other than the birds seen, something I now greatly regret. The blogs were initially done to find a 'home'
for boxes of old slides which I had not looked at for years, my dad giving me his slide scanner providing the necessary impetus to digitise them. Doing these blogs has brought back many very happy memories, and a few sad ones.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">I’ve been very fortunate to have various like-minded friends </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">whom I have been able to travel with.

My journey to Christchurch, New Zealand started with a late morning bus from Shoreham into Brighton and from there National Express to Heathrow. My bag was as fuller than its ever been, mostly warm weather gear suitable for long periods on deck in the Subantarctic. With Nick Preston, Paul Noakes and 130+ other guests I was joining the Heritage Expeditions Birding Down Under Cruise (BDU for short). </span><span style="font-family: arial;">It was something I'd wanted to do for at least 25 years and with </span><span style="font-family: arial;">John and Doreen Cooper going in 1999 and enjoying it (see https://jfcbirding.blogspot.com/2021/11/sub-antarctic-islands-off-new-zealalnd.html) I</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> penciled it in for after my retirement. The opportunity to go finally arose in 2023. </span></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><b>Saturday 02 December.</b> After two days of travelling Nick and I arrived in Christchurch following uneventful but long flights via Singapore. We picked up a hire car and headed west. As we did so the weather quickly deteriorated and by the time we reached Arthur's Pass it was raining hard. A quick stop at the shop produced 4 <b>Keas</b> but I passed on their rather expensive snack food. We found the start of the Otira Valley Track and I ventured a short distance along it to get the lay of the land. Th</span><span>e track was more like a narrow stream and I soon gave up. It was our site for</span><span> Rock Wren, one of our main targets this time as we'd not seen them our previous visit in 1996. Hoping the weather on the west coast would be better we found it worse. We were booked into a chalet in Greymouth where a <b>Weka</b> greeted us in the grounds. After dumping our bags we were directed to a shop in town, and from there to a nearby chippie. We returned </span>to our chalet but with no let up to the torrential rain decided there would be no point in looking for Great Spotted Kiwis further up the coast (our second of three South Island targets). Two <b>New Zealand Pigeons</b>, 2 <b>South Island Oystercatchers</b>, 2 <b>Masked Lapwing</b>, 30 <b>Kelp Gulls</b>, 2 <b>White-faced Herons</b>, 8 <b>Swamp Harriers</b> and a few introduced European passerines were seen on the journey.</span></p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh54ROoYBDs3_emr5xWgzjm-N-oUVk2DwF4oAwsoMkgAfqOo2PJz1vv8RW8JgkOczST9yTc8F6QfOhJt-Az2byK6fbllzZgxuzm5uuR0e_BpvQqzz6aXv_EH8MRf34GMUltQ7qvfMy7E3uV4l2HQiwQh0lCGBNo1k_FlFTaupS690iYmi1H49nY_3Fb2Ik/s600/Arthur's%20Pass%2002Dec23%20IMG_8545.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><img border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="600" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh54ROoYBDs3_emr5xWgzjm-N-oUVk2DwF4oAwsoMkgAfqOo2PJz1vv8RW8JgkOczST9yTc8F6QfOhJt-Az2byK6fbllzZgxuzm5uuR0e_BpvQqzz6aXv_EH8MRf34GMUltQ7qvfMy7E3uV4l2HQiwQh0lCGBNo1k_FlFTaupS690iYmi1H49nY_3Fb2Ik/w400-h300/Arthur's%20Pass%2002Dec23%20IMG_8545.JPG" width="400" /></span></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">on the way to Arthur's Pass</span></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: arial;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3rCbyQgXXEqsiyDEx94RJGQuQ7SlJruxO7j-X7yXEvR5sMu4Q0xqW7xdxvwPAyyRwUwr0IbGCtDgWuX3-3b7H32PpXp6kbWQAZhDKOzxWzIil_KBNnmBSLXEK8gC4oF0sy1rTB1T7M0D29MwVIS66efmLkDX_Y8IuSeq2XWW65c1p_smnerGgAPERmCw/s800/Arthur's%20Pass%2002Dec23%20IMG_8547.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="449" data-original-width="800" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3rCbyQgXXEqsiyDEx94RJGQuQ7SlJruxO7j-X7yXEvR5sMu4Q0xqW7xdxvwPAyyRwUwr0IbGCtDgWuX3-3b7H32PpXp6kbWQAZhDKOzxWzIil_KBNnmBSLXEK8gC4oF0sy1rTB1T7M0D29MwVIS66efmLkDX_Y8IuSeq2XWW65c1p_smnerGgAPERmCw/w400-h225/Arthur's%20Pass%2002Dec23%20IMG_8547.JPG" width="400" /></a><br /><br /></span><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqlsxkmNgpNytyHFatvYP_hzrSzh_j-dYMmsPycPGtVnL0FSbe7yCJtzOaJ3W-talhCP6n1araZ2gkkBhjJ1qbKkrK3QLT5fZcfcFBc2KvZW1Y8iojDyj1_V7T9P3zCff_CZaGqxUMnY3ew3i5hzcMIHnDYl8TiUlikF4N39QjyojmhmQmtu7HGmpqRU0/s600/Kea%20Arthur's%20Pass%2002Dec23%20IMG_8553.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="450" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqlsxkmNgpNytyHFatvYP_hzrSzh_j-dYMmsPycPGtVnL0FSbe7yCJtzOaJ3W-talhCP6n1araZ2gkkBhjJ1qbKkrK3QLT5fZcfcFBc2KvZW1Y8iojDyj1_V7T9P3zCff_CZaGqxUMnY3ew3i5hzcMIHnDYl8TiUlikF4N39QjyojmhmQmtu7HGmpqRU0/w300-h400/Kea%20Arthur's%20Pass%2002Dec23%20IMG_8553.JPG" width="300" /></span></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Kea at Arthur's Pass</span></td></tr></tbody></table><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><b>Sunday 03 December</b>. It was still raining and with the forecast showing no let up we returned to Arthur's Pass with low expectations. We walked along the Otira Valley Track but just 0.5km in our way was halted where a stream crossing the track had become a torrent. The bush was too thick to find a way around so I very gingerly eased my way in and, as it didn't come much over my knees, across. W</span>e continued up the valley and were soon completely soaked. Moisture soon permeated my camera's viewfinder despite it being in a drybag. Nick's phone, in a dry bag within a supposedly waterproof backpack, and my hearing aid packed up. My hearing aid dried out and recovered a couple of days later but Nick's phone (and SIM) never did. The vegetation became stunted and rockfalls and scree slopes appeared on the valley sides. A bridge across the river took us into better looking habitat but the weather was against us and the only birds I encountered were 2 <b>Dunnocks</b> and a <b>Redpoll </b>on our way back. We returned to Greymouth late afternoon but the rain continued through the evening and again we decided against looking for Great Spotted Kiwis. Our two chances were both washouts. Four <b>Paradise Shelduck</b>, 2 <b>New Zealand Pigeons</b>, 3 <b>Wekas</b>, <b>Swamp Harrier</b>, 2 <b>Tuis</b>, <b>Grey Gerygone</b>, <b>Tomtit </b>and a few introduced European passerines were seen at Greymouth and on the journeys to and from Arthur's Pass.</span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

We packed up and left Greymouth before dawn. It was still raining but didn't seem as heavily although that may have been wishful thinking. We returned to the Otira Valley Track, arriving just before 3 Polish birders. They'd seen a pair of Blue Duck with a duckling from a nearby bridge but we decided to press on for Rock Wren although we later felt that was probably a mistake. The rain was easing, the torrent had subsided and was passable without wading and it took under an hour to reach the bridge. A <b>Kea</b> soon after the bridge was an improvement on the previous day but despite improving weather we were struggling. Our friendly Polish birders heard a Rock Wren up on one of the scree slopes but were unable to pin it down, unfortunately its call was too high pitched for Nick or I to hear. An hour or so later one of them had a brief view of a Rock Wren by the river but it immediately disappeared. Nick and I continued searching but were conscious that time was slipping away. We had to leave by mid afternoon to be at Okarito for Ian Cooper's Kiwi Tour that evening. With increasing feelings of dread we kept wandering around. Two of the Poles had gone back and the third came down off a high ridge towards us. He'd seen and photographed a Rock Wren visiting a hole in the rocks on the opposite side of the ridge we'd seen him on. He gave us directions although the final part seemed a bit vague to me. We reckoned we had four hours before we needed to be back at the car and leaving. An hour up to the ridge, an hour there and at a push 90 minutes back to the car, Nick went racing off, his hours in a gym paying off. I followed as best I could but was soon way behind. I was hoping he'd find where the bird was and still be watching it when I arrived but as I got closer it was obvious that he hadn't. He made it up to the ridge in 40 minutes, it took me over an hour. We spent an hour in the area with no success, not helped by not hearing one if it was singing and not being sure precisely where it had been. We returned feeling very dejected. We drove to Whataroa, where I'd booked an Airbnb, and arrived at Ian Cooper's with a few minutes to spare, although just too late for good views of a <b>Fernbird</b> in his front garden. We joined about half a dozen others and were briefed on how he hoped the tour would unfold - teamwork and silence being key for us, having radio tagged birds and a receiver giving him an advantage that would hopefully prove decisive. We were driven into the nearby forest where several pairs territories were crossed by narrow tracks. Ian located several kiwis but most had already crossed the areas he had hoped we might see them. An <b>Okarito Brown Kiwi </b>named Moss hadn't and Ian lined us up on a track it was heading towards. We waited quietly and after 5-10 minutes it quickly crossed the track, illuminated by his red torch beam. Unfortunately it wasn't that close and the sighting was over all too quickly, one of the participants not seeing it at all. </span>Disappointing. We tried two more territories without success and that was it, gone 11pm and we were out of time. We'd been fortunate, although it didn't really feel that way, as the previous two nights had been washouts at Okarito as well as Greymouth and Ian hadn't gone out. They were the two nights that Paul Chapman and Paul Gregory, who we were to team up with on the BDU, had booked. Ten <b>Paradise Shelduck</b>, 2 <b>New Zealand Pigeons</b>, 2 <b>Wekas</b>, 2 <b>Pukakos</b>, 4 <b>South Island Oystercatchers</b>, 4 <b>Masked Lapwing</b>, 2 <b>Swamp Harriers</b>, <b>Kaka</b>, 4 <b>Tuis</b>, <b>Grey Gerygone</b>, <b>New Zealand Fantail</b>, <b>Tomtit</b>, 2 <b>Welcome Swallows </b>and several introduced European passerines were seen between Arthur's Pass and Okarito. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

We left Whataroa, the Airbnb being a nice place to stay, and drove to Queenstown where we were to join the BDU. We had a few brief stops on the way but failed to recognise our intended stop at Haast Pass until we were some distance past it and too far to return. We arrived in Queenstown, left our bags at the Copthorne Hotel and dropped off the car. Walking back through town a large mural of Queenstown and the surrounding area cruelly featured a large Rock Wren. Mentioning this in a message to Dave Cooper he suggested taking up graffiti! We checked in and were delighted to see Paul already in our room. It had been touch and go whether he would make it following his wife's successful operation a week earlier. This was officially day 1 of the BDU I've no recollection at all about the rest of the day or the Welcome Dinner. Birds seen on our journey to Queenstown were similar to previous days - 6 <b>Paradise Shelduck</b>, 2 <b>New Zealand Pigeons</b>, 3 <b>Pukakos</b>, 3 <b>South Island Oystercatchers</b>, 15 <b>Masked Lapwing</b>, 5 <b>Kelp Gulls</b>, 3 <b>Little Black Cormorants</b>, 3 <b>White-faced Herons</b>, 3 <b>Swamp Harriers</b>, 4 <b>Tuis</b>, 5 <b>New Zealand Bellbirds</b>, <b>Grey Gerygone</b>, 4 <b>New Zealand Fantails</b>, 2 <b>Tomtits</b>, 2 <b>Welcome Swallows</b>, 4 <b>Silvereyes </b>and several introduced European passerines.</span></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

Officially Day 2 of the BDU dawned in Queenstown, over 200km and 3 hours drive from the sea! After a leisurely breakfast and a wander down to the lake we returned to the hotel for an early lunch before being bussed to Bluff. <span style="font-family: arial;">In Queenstown and on the journey to Bluff I saw </span>6 <b>Paradise Shelduck</b>, 30 <b>Grey Teal</b>, <b>New Zealand Scaup</b>, 2 <b>New Zealand Pigeons</b>, <b>Great Crested Grebe</b>, 3 <b>South Island</b> and 2 <b>Variable Oystercatchers</b>, 2 <b>Masked Lapwing</b>, 10 <b>Red-billed </b>and 40 <b>Black-billed Gulls</b>, 15 <b>White-fronted Terns</b>, a <b>Little Pied</b> and 2 <b>Little Black Cormorants</b>, 5 <b>Swamp Harriers</b>, a poor view of a <b>New Zealand Falcon</b>, 2 <b>Welcome Swallows</b>, 3 <b>Silvereyes </b>and several introduced European passerines. We boarded the Heritage Adventurer, found our cabin (#303), had a lifeboat drill and dinner. We waited for the high tide before we could depart, just before 21:00, seeing 15 <b>Sooty Shearwaters</b> before dark.

A decent weather forecast so I took Cookie up to Beeding Hill and we set out on our usual circuit: SE along the Monarch's Way, north to Truleigh Hill and back west above Room Bottom. Half way along Monarch's Way as we dropped almost to the valley bottom I glimpsed a large thin pale grey warbler as it flew west behind me and appeared to dive into a Hawthorn. I was pretty certain it was a <b>Barred Warbler</b>, something I'd seen on Unst three weeks earlier, but totally unexpected on the Sussex Downs! I followed it and had an obscured view as it flew out of the back of the bush. Still struggling to think what else it could possibly be I slowly approached and had another equally poor flight view but at least this time I saw where it went. A minute or so later I detected a movement behind some dead vegetation/moth nest at the top of the Hawthorn it had gone into. I could just about make out part of its head and obtained a couple of images after switching to manual focus. They just about confirmed my identification but weren't great. The bird dropped out of the back of the bush and I lost it, flushing it again 5 minutes later and over 50m further back up the track. It dived into another Hawthorn and this time I saw movement as it worked its way up, a minute or so later appearing in the open near the top. I watched/photographed it for 2-3 minutes before it suddenly flew up high SE across the field and was lost from view.

October</span></b><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">. The gale force NW winds had moderated by dawn
although were still strong and we felt watching the sea was our best option. In
five cold hours, at times being sleeted on, we witnessed a very impressive
northerly movement of 15,000+ Fulmars. A mesmerizing sight as they passed on a
wide front at a rate estimated to be about 50/minute (3000/hour). Amongst them
Dave picked out 3 ‘Blue’ <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Fulmars</b> and
I managed one. I also saw 14 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Long-tailed
Duck</b>, 20 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Kittiwakes</b>, adult <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Iceland Gull</b>, 30+ <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">auks</b> (those identified were 9 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Razorbills</b>
and a <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Black Guillemot</b>), 2 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Great Northern Divers</b>, 3 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Sooty Shearwaters</b> (Dave saw more),
250+ <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Gannets</b> and about 65 Snow
Buntings (2 singles and flocks appearing from below the cliff edge of about 15,
50 and presumably the same 15). An afternoon walk to Valyie showed little
change with 2 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Waxwings</b>, 10 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Redwings</b>, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Fieldfare</b>, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Robin</b>, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Chaffinch</b>, 30 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Bramblings</b>, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Hawfinch</b>, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Lesser</b> <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Redpoll</b> and <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Siskin</b>.

October</span></b><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">. The wind had lessened a bit and switched to SW
overnight. We walked down to Valyie and spent a couple of hours there, partly
sheltering in the shed and bus stop. It was soon obvious that most of the
migrants there had moved on with no winter thrushes or Bramblings in
evidence.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We saw a <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Waxwing </b>(flying from Leawart to Norwick), <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Robin</b>, 4 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Greenland</b> <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Redpoll</b> and <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Siskin</b>. In the afternoon I spent 3
hours on East Hill looking unsuccessfully for Snow Buntings and anything else
notable. I saw 30 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Golden Plover</b>, 14 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Curlew</b>, 4 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Hooded Crows</b> and a <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Raven</b>.
It was wetter than expected and an old bread bag didn’t do a very good job at
keeping my camera dry. It stopped working, not that there was much to
photograph.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Tuesday 17
October</span></b><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">. My camera was more or less working again after a night on a
radiator. although the viewfinder was rather cloudy. We walked to Valyie
seeing the ring-tail <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Hen Harrier</b>, 5 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Blackcaps</b>, 5 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Redwings</b>, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Robin</b>, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Wheatear</b>, 3 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Brambling</b>, 4 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Lesser</b> and
3 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Greenland Redpolls</b>
and a <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Siskin</b>. We were back at
Millfield at about 10:30 and after tea and toast drove to Uyeasound. There were
21 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Whooper</b> and 29 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Mute Swans</b>, 24 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Tufted Duck</b>, a <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Long-tailed
Duck</b>, 5 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Goldeneye</b> and a <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Whinchat</b> at Easter Loch. We walked SW along
the coast seeing 2 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Otters</b>, 40 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Wigeon</b>, 30 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Eider</b>, 120 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Long-tailed Duck</b>,
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">3 Red-breasted Mergansers</b>, a 2CY <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Glaucous Gull</b>, 2 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Black Guillemots</b>, 2 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Red-throated
Divers</b> and 2 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Twite</b>. Dave received
news that his father’s health was deteriorating and we headed back so he would
be ready to leave (on same ferry/flight as me) if it was serious. A </span></span>Hornemann’s Arctic Redpoll had just been found at Setter's Hill Estate and Dave dropped me there as we were passing. Three Tyneside birders were watching it near the pines but soon after I arrived it and the 10 or so other redpolls that it w<span face=""Arial",sans-serif" lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">as with (Mealy, Greenland and a probable
Coues’s Arcrtic) flew off high east. I'd had identifiable
views of the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Hornemann’s</b> and a couple
of <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Greenland </b>and<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> Mealy Redpolls</b> but didn’t see the
Coues’s. I wandered around the pines and after about 20 minutes some
redpolls reappeared at the far end before flying to the original
corner and then off high in the direction of the Health Centre. I counted 9
birds flying away both times but probably identified no more than 6, none being
either Arctic. I walked west, past a small estate where 2 calling redpolls flew
back towards Setter's Hill. I continued to Hunter's Wood, the rough ground by the Football pitch where I
could see the Tyneside birders were looking. There I came across the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Hornamann’s Arctic Redpoll</b> with 3 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Greenland Redpolls</b> feeding
in sallows and on the ground. The Hornemann's had very unstreaked underparts, </span><span face="Arial, sans-serif">unusually so in Dave's experience and very </span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" lang="EN-US">similar to the long-staying Valyie bird. Three hundred photos later they flew east a short distance.
The Tyneside birders had been watching them nearer the football pitch
before they flew in my direction, and later they flew high towards the Health Centre. I walked
over but failed to see them again </span><span face="Arial, sans-serif">although they were seen in the same area on subsequent days</span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" lang="EN-US">. </span><span face="Arial, sans-serif">Despite being a very mobile group of birds, and acting very much as if they were newly arrived, </span><span face="Arial, sans-serif">Dave took some detailed images on a later date showing identical feather anomalies to the Valyie bird.</span><span face="Arial, sans-serif"> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Wednesday 18 October</span></b><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">. My very
enjoyable visit to Unst was at an end. Brenda and Dave were excellent hosts and
I’d seen a good haul of unusual birds, many of which we (mostly Dave) had
found. The long journey home began just before 07:30 when Dave took me to the
Saxa Vord bus stop. It was then bus, ferry, bus, ferry, bus to Lerwick where I
arrived just before 10:30. Highlights were 4 <b>Whoopers</b> identified amongst
the 50 swans on Easter Lock as we drove past (I’d seen 21 there a few days
before), 2 <b>Eider</b>, 3 <b>Black Guillemots</b> and 2 <b>Red-throated Diver</b>.
I dumped my bag, confirmed the early 14:00 departure to reach Aberdeen ahead of
the worst of Storm Babet and walked to Clickimin and Hellendale. There I saw <b>Red-breasted
Merganser</b>, 3 <b>Collared Doves</b>, 10 <b>Hooded Crows</b>, 4 <b>Ravens</b>,
<b>Blackcap</b>, 3 <b>Goldcrests</b> and 3 <b>Redwings. </b>The Hjaltland
departed promptly and I stayed on deck until we docked in Orkney at dusk.
Highlights were 34 <b>Eider</b>, 6 <b>Long-tailed Duck</b>, 6 <b>Black
Guillemots</b>, Sumburgh Head, 400 <b>Fulmars</b>, rugged Fair Isle and very
flat North Ronaldsay (the contrast between the two quite stark). I slept a bit
between Orkney and Aberdeen although an uncomfortable seat (the ferry was quite
full with it being the last crossing for at least two days) and heavy swell. Dave and Brenda hadn't managed to get a space on the ferry for their car and with John stabilised and no longer critical in hospital had provisionally booked on the next sailing (on Saturday).<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Thursday 19 October</span></b><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">. We arrived at
Aberdeen at 03:00 and I dozed until they started letting people off at 07:00. I
walked to Girdleness into the teeth of the storm, not helped by not being able
to leave my bag at the Ferry Terminal. Very impressive seas were breaking over
the harbour breakwaters making me very pleased we’d arrived before the worst of
Storm Babet. In a couple of hours I saw <b>Wigeon</b>, 2 <b>Eider</b>, <b>Goldeneye</b>,
<b>Arctic Tern</b>, 3 <b>Kittiwakes</b>, 3 <b>Redwings</b> and a <b>Rock Pipit</b>.
The seas were far too rough to see any birds moving and the foghorn provided
very little shelter with the winds whipping around both sides of it. I walked
back into town and caught a bus to the airport, arriving at14:15. My flight had
been put back from 16:10 to 17:30 and then 19:50 although I was instructed to
check in at the original time. Several changes later and after a long wait at
the gate for our plane to be prepared we boarded at about 18:40. Take off was
as bumpy as I can remember, probably more so, but we soon climbed out of the
extreme turbulence. We landed at Gatwick soon after 20:00 but then had to wait
almost 30 minutes for a gate to become free. Almost home but there was a sting
in the tail. Signaling problems between Three Bridges and Balcombe had caused
cancellation of all Littlehampton trains which now started at Haywards Heath,
clear of the defective signals. It was recommended I catch a Brighton train but
those were running late and then taking much longer to reach Haywards Heath.
The train was jam packed, more like rush hour Underground. Standing room only
and very hot. I fainted approaching Haywards Heath, the continual travelling
proving too much. Several nearby passengers got me and my bags off at Haywards
Heath and helped me to the Littlehampton train which was fortunately on the
adjoining platform. Fortunately there was a guard on the train who put me into
First Class and checked to see I was OK. Sitting down in a cooler environment I
soon recovered and was very pleased to see Megan and Cookie at Shoreham
Station. I was home about 22:15, almost 39 hours since I’d left Millfield. Despite
that I’m very keen to go back next year. </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><img border="0" data-original-height="449" data-original-width="800" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0DJV-4QHWM0BSWxURPjPFeTJUaz0Z5a9Z3I5Qt8vDeDzLw7GOs22-rTltDeHfm88L371KjDgmC6MTgBc_mkaUOT6H6QZl1ES8UTMIUzXf0BY8OHAxPb2GrUa8wcIEnuvxtU3hnNFxR_SO5WS4JMO4ocvqzm3mFHNao2sZIuAE31a1bR_8EWO9TS6avjs/w400-h225/Aberdeen%20Harbour%20South%20Breakwater%20Lighthouse%2019Oct23%20IMG_8417.JPG" style="margin-left: auto;

October</span></b><span lang="EN-US">. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dave and I
were out just before 07:30 and walked down into Norwick seeing a <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Waxwing</b> by the main road. We continued
towards Valyie where Dave spotted two white looking redpolls sitting together
high up in the conifers behind the house. They looked very interesting and we
hurried up the hill towards them, stopping regularly to take photos. We soon
were close enough to confirm our suspicions that they were <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Hornemann’s Arctic Redpolls</b>, dwarfing a nearby rather drab <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Lesser Redpoll</b>. All too soon they flew
off towards Leawart with a small flock of redpolls but although the flock
returned the Hornemann’s didn’t. Shortly after we met two other birders who had
seen the flock with them in it on the wires at Leawart but when they flew back
to Valyie the Hornemann’s kept going. After a couple of hours, during which
time they did not return, we left the area having seen 2 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Waxwings</b> (I only heard them), <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Yellow-browed
Warbler</b>, 2 <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i>blythi </i></span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Lesser
Whitethroats</b>, 5 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Goldcrests</b>, 25 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Redwings</b>, 7 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Fieldfares</b>, 3 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Ring Ouzels</b>,
2 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Wheatears</b>, 12 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Bramblings</b>, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Hawfinch</b>, a <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Mealy</b>, 2 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">North-Western (Greenland)</b>, 4 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Lesser
Redpolls</b> and a <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Siskin</b>. We
returned to Millfield along the coast seeing 2 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Knot</b> and a <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Razorbill</b>.
After and early lunch we drove to Skaw and walked around the headland to check
the Geos. It was very quiet, not helped by being caught out in a shower, with a
fly-past<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> Red-breasted Merganser </b>our
only notable sighting. Back at Skaw we could either try the Great Wall (where
I’d not actually seen anything notable and we’d be exposed to the weather which
looked threatening) or try NorthDale (where we’d had some previous success and
would be in running distance of the car if the weather deteriorated). We chose
NorthDale and as it worked out were very pleased we had. We parked in the usual
place by the bridge and almost immediately saw a <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Waxwing</b> in the nearby conifer. We walked up to NorthDale and
wandered around seeing a rather smart male <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Mealy
Redpoll</b>. Back by the car were a <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Willow
Warbler</b> and <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i>blythi </i></span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Lesser
Whitethroat</b> and Dave saw an interesting looking chat/wheatear way out on
the marsh. While looking for it I saw a <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Northern
Wheatear</b> fly past. Seeing nothing further we returned to the car and very fortunately Dave drove further
up the road to turn around. As Dave was doing so we noticed a startlingly
bright wheatear fly past and land on a gate ahead of us – an absolutely
stunning male <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Pied Wheatear</b>. We
followed the bird around a couple of fields to be sure we had decent images and
put the news out, keeping tabs on it as others arrived. It worked its way along
fence-lines and returned to the valley where Dave had first seen it. There
were also two <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Northern Wheatears</b> out
there so my first Wheatear identification had been correct, although mistakenly thinking it was the bird
Dave had first seen could have proved costly. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US">Tuesday 10
October</span></b><span lang="EN-US">. The rain and strong SW winds arrived earlier than
forecast dashing our hopes that our walk to Valyie would be a pleasant one. An
Otter swimming and diving in Norwick Bay came up with a crab which it brought
to shore and proceeded to eat. It then found an auk corpse on the tideline
which it carried off. We spent a couple of hours at Valyie, initially in the
wood and then sheltering in the barn. The fields were rather exposed although
the few finches feeding in them included a single <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Hornemann’s
Arctic Redpoll.</b> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We didn’t linger and
I only saw it in flight and perched back on and assumed it was one of
yesterday’s birds. Also at Valyie were 2 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Woodpigeons</b>,
an almost continuous westerly passage of about 150 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Herring Gulls</b>, 3 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Goldcrests</b>,
5 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Redwings</b>, 10 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Bramblings</b>, a <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Greenland Redpoll</b> and 3 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Siskins</b>.
We returned to Millfield at about 11:00 and after an early lunch I headed up onto
East Hill to look for Snow Buntings while Dave caught up on some admin. It was still raining but the strong SW
wind was mostly behind me as I made my way south and east along disappointingly birdless stone
walls and up towards the clouds. With visibility no more than 150m I
noticed bits of 4 partly hidden <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Snow Buntings</b>
disappearing over a brow 30m above me. Continuing a few paces further the 4
became 8 and a few paces more caused a bird to their right flush and land on a
fence maybe 30m away. Before I could raise my binoculars to look at it the Snow Buntings flew off left, I concentrated on them and counted 11 as they disappeared into the murk. Looking back at the fence the other bird was still there. Fully
expecting it to take my Snow Bunting count to 12, as that was what I'd assumed it to be, I was quite surprised to see
it was a large, very pale redpoll which, despite the poor visibility, appeared to be <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Hornemann’s Arctic Redpoll</b>. Panic
ensued as I struggled to extract my camera from a plastic bag inside my
shoulder bag. The bird flew as I was doing this but fortunately I saw it land on a
rock although it was further way. I took some images of it on the rock (many it turned out with its head turned away), in flight (well out of focus) and back on the wire
(but not as close as originally, in worse visibility and all with it’s head turned away). I </span></span><span style="font-family: arial;">looked down</span><span style="font-family: arial;"><span lang="EN-US"> and changed my camera settings to hopefully obtain some brighter images but while doing so the bird vanished. I spent a couple of hours wandering
around my side of the fence in the hope of seeing it again. It had flown that way the first time and the Snow Buntings had gone that way too </span></span><span style="font-family: arial;">but I had no success despite improving visibility. </span><span style="font-family: arial;">I had almost come a cropper on the fence the previous
year and chose not to risk climbing over it again - it was high tensioned and barbed-wire topped, too high to step over and then, as now, too windy to attempt to climb
over. Last year after removing flappy over-trousers I then ripped my trousers
on my first attempt and only just managed a very wobbly climb over in
underpants. Not something I wished to repeat! On East Hill I did encounter another flock of 18-20 </span><b style="font-family: arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Snow Buntings</b><span style="font-family: arial;">, </span><b style="font-family: arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Merlin</b><span style="font-family: arial;">, 2 </span><b style="font-family: arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Fieldfares</b><span style="font-family: arial;">, 30
</span><b style="font-family: arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Redwings</b><span style="font-family: arial;"> and a </span><b style="font-family: arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Wheatear</b><span style="font-family: arial;">. After a quick pitstop at Millfield I walked back down to
Valyie for the final hour of daylight. It was still raining but less heavily
and I was already wet. The wind hadn’t decreased making birding difficult.
Most finches appeared to be roosting in the conifers and sycamores behind the house.
I saw 20 </span><b style="font-family: arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Brambling</b><span style="font-family: arial;"> mainly in the sycamores and</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> in the conifers at Valyie</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> a distant front view
of what I assumed was most likely the less streaked of yesterday’s </span><b style="font-family: arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Hornemann’s Arctic Redpolls</b><span style="font-family: arial;">. Had the Hornemann's on East Hill been the more heavily streaked of yesterday's and if so why had they not stayed together? It certainly behaved more as I would have expected of a new arrival, finding somewhere rather inhospitable and quickly moving on.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US">Wednesday 11
October</span></b><span lang="EN-US">. A day of relentless gale force SW winds and
prolonged showers with shelter hard to come by. We walked down to Vaylie at
07:45 seeing a <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">blythi</i> <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Lesser Whitethroat</b> attempting to feed
on the ground in Norwick. Twice we dived into the Bus Shelter but as the wind direction
helped the rain come straight in through the entrance it didn’t give the hoped
for refuge. The Valyie barn provided much more shelter but, if I’m picky, no
seating. The <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Hornemann’s Arctic Redpoll</b>
gave good views on the sheltered side of the small conifer copse between its
visits to the weedy field near Leawart. Otherwise, apart from Dave’s first <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Grey Wagtail</b> of the year, birds were similar to recently days with 2 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Blackcaps</b>,
3 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Goldcrests</b>, 20 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Redwings</b>, 10 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Bramblings</b>, 2 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Hawfinches</b>,
a <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Greenland Redpoll</b> and
2 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Siskins</b>. After a lengthy period at
Millfield catching up on sorting images while waiting for a break in the
weather we spent 14:00-17:00 on East Hill failing to find yesterday’s <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Hornemann’s Arctic Redpoll</b> in as strong
a wind as I can remember birding in on land. At least it was mostly dry and
visibility was fair. We tried both sides of the fence, the far side reached by
following it to the top of East Hill and crossing on a stile 5m from the cliff
edge – closer than I was particularly comfortable with in winds of over
60mph! We saw a <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Peregrine</b>, 5 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Redwings</b>, 2 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Song Thrushes</b> and 2 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Snow
Buntings</b>. The latter near the trig point where there was no shelter from
the wind and impossible to hold binoculars, let alone a camera, steady.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span lang="EN-US"></span></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US">Thursday 12
October</span></b><span lang="EN-US">. A nicer dry morning with moderate SW winds. We left
at 07:30 and walked down to Leawart and Valyie and then on to Skaw seeing a <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Moorhen</b>, 2-3 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Chiffchaffs</b>, 2 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Blackcaps</b>,
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Goldcrest</b>, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Song Thrush</b>, 20 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Redwings</b>,
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Fieldfare</b>, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Robin</b>, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Pied Flycatcher</b>,
85 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Bramblings </b>(a big increase), 3 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Hawfinches</b>, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Greenland</b>,<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> Lesser</b>
and<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> Hornemann’s Arctic Redpolls</b> and <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Siskin</b>. Approaching Skaw from around
the coast just after 10:00 we heard that an American Yellow Warbler had been
found at Hoswick on South Mainland. It was a new bird for both of us and one we
had missed previously so we were keen to see it and immediately set off up the
road back to Norwick where Brenda was waiting with the car. Dave broke the Skaw
to Norwick Beach speed-walking record with me a reasonably creditable second, a
minute or so behind. A quick stop at Millfield and we were on our way to
Belmont for the 11:35 ferry which was on a reduced schedule and not taking
bookings. We arrived about 15 minutes before the ferry was due to depart and
joined the queue behind a big articulated lorry, 3 cars and a transit van.
Fortunately we, and 3 cars behind were fitted onto the ferry. We were quickly
across Yell arriving at Ultsa a few minutes before the 12:15 ferry to Toft. At
Toft it was a tense drive in worsening weather south, around Lerwick and on to
Hoswick. We arrived at 13:30 to be told that the Yellow Warbler hadn’t been
seen for almost an hour. Ray O’Reilly suggested to us that the garden he’d seen
it in twice might be the best place to look in the hope/expectation it would
return regularly. We took his advice and after 20 minutes or so we were
watching the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Yellow Warbler</b>. It was
very active mainly in sycamores and willows in an enclosed rough garden with
limited viewing but we saw it well if always fairly briefly and usually partly
obscured. Dave managed some reasonable photos, my attempts were abysmal as I
was mostly trying to see it. We left at 15:30 after the bird had gone missing
for a while and the rain intensified. We stopped at Lerwick Tescos and
Frankie’s in Brae, the latter for the best Fish and Chips I can remember. We
arrived at Toft just before the 18:00 ferry, Gutcher in time for the 19:00
ferry and were back at Millfield soon after 19:30. What a day.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

with some heavy showers as the day progressed. We left at 07:20 and walked down
to Leawart and Valyie seeing <b>Merlin</b>,
<b>Blackcap</b>, <b>Goldcrest</b>, a few <b>Redwings</b>,

and Ungirsta (several <b>Redwings</b>, 2 <b>Bramblings</b>) before returning for lunch.

June I booked tickets to Shetland to visit Dave Cooper and Brenda Kay on Unst.
It would by my fourth visit in five years (Covid disallowed a clean sweep) and I
was most grateful to be able to take </span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="background: white; color: #222222;">advantage of their wonderful hospitality</span><span><span style="background: white; color: #222222;"> </span>again this year. </span><span face="Arial, sans-serif">I was leaving home on 4 October following a route I’d done twice
before with no real issues (train to Gatwick, EasyJet to Aberdeen and Northlink
overnight to Lerwick). The first year I’d travelled to Aberdeen and back by
overnight National Express bus, a much cheaper but more gruelling option that
wasn’t available subsequently. Probably just as well as that time I'd caught a nasty cold on the way up.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: arial;">I hardly gave the impending journey much thought until
a week before departing when I realized that the rail strikes called to
coincide with the start and end of the Tory Party Conference included 4
October. Annoying for me but I thought their timing was rather fitting, hopefully
causing some inconvenience to those recalcitrant to try and settle a
long-running dispute. The first strike coincided with Megan going to Chichester
Theatre so I drove her over and Cookie and I went on to West Dean Woods while
she was there. She offered to take me to Gatwick but I found a National Express
bus from Shoreham to Gatwick that would get me there and quickly booked it.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US">Tuesday 03
October</span></b><span lang="EN-US">. Following a half hour plus session struggling with
Southern Rail’s on-line refund form attempting to reclaim back my rail fare (I was successful) I received an email from National
Express. It informed me that the bus I’d booked wouldn’t be stopping between
Worthing (where it started) and Brighton due to roadworks in Shoreham! I had two
options, the quicker more frequent 700 Coastway service which stopped a 20
minute walk away or the local, less frequent route 2 Brighton bus that stopped
at the bottom of our road. Both were likely to be disrupted by the roadworks. My
blood pressure readings that evening were unsurprisingly higher than usual!<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US">Wednesday 04
October</span></b><span lang="EN-US">. After a disturbed night’s sleep worrying about my
travel connections I was up before 6am and after a quick shower and breakfast
left home to catch the local bus into Brighton having checked on their live bus
tracker that one was on its way. I arrived about 8 to find a crowd of 30-40
people standing by a temporary bus stop but no sign of the National
Express bus before mine that was due to depart imminently. I found a seat in view of them and waited. The earlier bus arrived about 20 minutes
later and most of the passengers boarded it. I returned to join the greatly reduced number left and
after 10 minutes or so a dispatcher with a clip board and high viz jacket
arrived, soon followed by an empty National Express bus. This we were told was not ours but the following (10am) bus. Ours was coming although at that stage hadn’t left Worthing (it
was due at 9am which was fast approaching). A substitute bus arrived,
apparently the 11am, but with still no sign of our bus by 09:30 </span></span><span>those of us with a booked ticket </span><span>were put on the substitute
bus and we departed. It was completely full and I was very pleased/relieved to be on it. Everything then went as
planned, the flight was on time and there was a bus waiting to go into Aberdeen. I
checked in at Northlink and </span><span>bought some food </span><span>for the journey </span><span>in Tesco and Greggs </span><span>in Union Street. The sailing was a little earlier than scheduled and I didn’t feel
I had the time or inclination to walk to the River Dee before we sailed. On
board the Hjaltland I saw 3 </span><b>Eider</b><span>
and a </span><b>Kittiwake</b><span> as we were leaving
Aberdeen Harbour in the half light. I sorted my stuff out around my reclining
seat, ate some food and at 10pm settled down on a more comfortable cushioned
bench. New of a White's Thrush seen at dusk on Bressay was slightly tempting, although I had made a tentative arrangement </span>to meet Matt Eade at Toft as he was considering a day trip to Unst and had offered to take me. He was staying in West Mainland with no internet or mobile signal.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdSW7tOPp8PLpoLhE7NoaV0f0X_H7w6TGrvGOLl6-0-6fW5SZJYWLvWjk8BfkBFbxBTLj5UqWbq07QGNYM2XeDG0cuFJ3UPmysht14kGe2D0X8ZTALDr8ucofm99Y548xFS5x54s7q4TSqJ1WX_Z1giu5uEz0Omn7kWOGt7akvXZv2YWW-Zvmqk3pZbY8/s800/Aberdeen%2004Oct23%20IMG_8295.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdSW7tOPp8PLpoLhE7NoaV0f0X_H7w6TGrvGOLl6-0-6fW5SZJYWLvWjk8BfkBFbxBTLj5UqWbq07QGNYM2XeDG0cuFJ3UPmysht14kGe2D0X8ZTALDr8ucofm99Y548xFS5x54s7q4TSqJ1WX_Z1giu5uEz0Omn7kWOGt7akvXZv2YWW-Zvmqk3pZbY8/w300-h400/Aberdeen%2004Oct23%20IMG_8295.JPG" width="300" /></span></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">approaching Aberdeen</span></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: arial;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipHeUQoCaCf_pGSl84C-Dp6e4Jng4SBefDX2v092vGZOdMYN7zdyhIY7mTQ3FXGCXoDqf7_ni_BUG76Ig4tXYNIggjvnVNXzznVEVMbM3RCMSetqhAg5GUPGhd-TwzyH2RYXCqR4ONITsDWfzI5ZXas8CgLB38jOpAqh9S2h6hCKOnkAW03dEeo_O6mKc/s800/Aberdeen%2004Oct23%20IMG_8296.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipHeUQoCaCf_pGSl84C-Dp6e4Jng4SBefDX2v092vGZOdMYN7zdyhIY7mTQ3FXGCXoDqf7_ni_BUG76Ig4tXYNIggjvnVNXzznVEVMbM3RCMSetqhAg5GUPGhd-TwzyH2RYXCqR4ONITsDWfzI5ZXas8CgLB38jOpAqh9S2h6hCKOnkAW03dEeo_O6mKc/w400-h300/Aberdeen%2004Oct23%20IMG_8296.JPG" width="400" /></a><span><span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></span></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US">Thursday 05
October</span></b><span lang="EN-US">. After a reasonable night’s sleep, having to get up
and wander around a couple of times with cramp, I was on deck soon after dawn
as we cruised into Lerwick Sound. The only birds noted before we docked were 32
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Eider</b> and a <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Raven</b>. I disembarked and made for the bus stop. With no news on the
Bressay White’s Thrush, and Matt uncontactable at his signal-less
accommodation, I decided not to try for it, a decision made easier by not being
sure where the copse it was in was and the bird being described as elusive the previous
evening when it was found. I boarded the bus to Toft seeing <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Hooded Crow</b> but little else through
rain covered windows although my mind was partly on whether I was meeting up
with Matt there. News that the White’s hadn’t been seen first thing and as a
result Matt was still intending on visiting Unst and our plan to meet at Toft
was on but as is often the case birding plans can quickly change. The White’s was
still present and understandably Matt decided to go. I'd seen two in Britain and continued to Unst seeing
14 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Black Guillemots</b>, 2 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Red-throated Divers</b> from the Toft-Ulsta
ferry, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Hooded Crow</b> on Yell and 2 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Black Guillemots</b> from the Gutcher-Belmont
ferry. Jimmy was driving the Unst bus and took me to the end of the route (Saxa
Vord) and on to Millfield passing 7+ <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Whooper
Swans</b> on Easter Loch on the way. Great to see Dave and Brenda again. After fleeting
views of a <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Siberian Chiffchaff</b> in
their garden (Dave’s first of the autumn), 2 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Twite </b>and an early lunch Dave and I walked down to Norwick and up
onto and along the road towards Skaw. We cut down to the Great Wall and along
the coast to Skaw seeing 4 of the large-looking dark rufous <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Common Snipe</b> on the way. There was a <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Long-tailed Duck</b> in the bay and after some wandering around,
including an excursion around a couple of Geos, we had excellent views of the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Arctic Warbler</b> found the previous day
by Scott and Angela. My first in the UK since 1988! Also present were 2 greyish
looking <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Whinchats</b>, typical of most
on Shetland at this time of year, but unlike the brighter buffier birds I’m
used to seeing in autumn in Sussex. Apparently they are clinal with eastern
birds being greyer which seems to fit with several other passerine migrants
that range west to east. We returned via Valyie seeing 4 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Swallows</b>, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Yellow-browed
Warbler</b>, 3 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Blackcaps</b>, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Goldcrest</b>, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Pied Flycatcher</b>, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Brambling</b>,
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Common Rosefinch</b> (3 were present), <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Twite</b>, 3 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Lesser Redpolls</b> and a <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Siskin</b>.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNLQmYlt8M_lVio5vzRsXa2EuQXIp_11dYAViqCQum2XfYYNoadMTLqR-5bZTbYaK4KixDyBI0-Q856OhIYg8M_0CHyouAZaVnBd2E_V-IbptOLeTuWG9kbylqUjSB5P0006tPGRztHBi5mgzaEv5FoB6tyZR5eGI4M6KXZHTOPCoac4W-s17Q0KjAZLY/s600/Black%20Guillemot%20Toft%2005Oct23%20P1434601.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><img border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="600" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNLQmYlt8M_lVio5vzRsXa2EuQXIp_11dYAViqCQum2XfYYNoadMTLqR-5bZTbYaK4KixDyBI0-Q856OhIYg8M_0CHyouAZaVnBd2E_V-IbptOLeTuWG9kbylqUjSB5P0006tPGRztHBi5mgzaEv5FoB6tyZR5eGI4M6KXZHTOPCoac4W-s17Q0KjAZLY/w400-h300/Black%20Guillemot%20Toft%2005Oct23%20P1434601.JPG" width="400" /></span></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Black Guillemot from the Toft-Ultsa ferry</span></td></tr></tbody></table><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqyQVRmbYxiATqgvWW4KpAdRZKhDprw_6Vtchx-DjPkhPfWl5tKV4bqK8fiUpTqSQ8ps8GAHb2LvkBWEBzYzZWegHO06d1PAjLr5g_XroUcsPr9-oTOqzPC_8Bd5j4bp92L93lUvGpGn3F7desREyNYGLOhD3s813RujDsteBrQfvQ8AuZzjWxVIPCCsY/s800/Millfield%2005Oct23%20IMG_8305.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="599" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqyQVRmbYxiATqgvWW4KpAdRZKhDprw_6Vtchx-DjPkhPfWl5tKV4bqK8fiUpTqSQ8ps8GAHb2LvkBWEBzYzZWegHO06d1PAjLr5g_XroUcsPr9-oTOqzPC_8Bd5j4bp92L93lUvGpGn3F7desREyNYGLOhD3s813RujDsteBrQfvQ8AuZzjWxVIPCCsY/w300-h400/Millfield%2005Oct23%20IMG_8305.JPG" width="300" /></span></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The only Puffin I saw from this year's Unstfest trail was behind Dave and Brenda's house.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US">Saturday 07
October</span></b><span lang="EN-US">. Dave and I were out soon after 07:30 and walked down
to Valyie where we spent a couple of hours before continuing on to Skaw, via
the Great Wall. We then walked out onto the headland and around a couple of
geos before cutting across to the burn, back south along the coast and up along
the edge of the Space Port at Inner Skaw. We then returned to Valyie and Norwick for afternoon tea followed by a visit to Burrafirth where we birded to dusk. A long day in the field (24k
steps for me) in reasonable weather (mainly dry, sometimes sunny, moderate
easterly breeze) without much being seen. Highlights were <b>Yellow-browed Warbler</b>, <b>Pied
Flycatcher</b>, <b>Redstart</b>, 2 <b>Tree Pipits</b>, 4 <b>Bramblings</b> and 2 (of 3) <b>Common
Rosefinches</b> at Valyie, <b>Pink-footed
Goose</b>, <b>Peregrine</b> and <b>Snow Bunting</b> at Skaw and a <i>blythi </i><b>Lesser Whitethroat </b>at Burrafirth.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: arial;"></span></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

Dave and I were out
just before 07:30 and walked down to Valyie where Dave found a calling <b>Dusky Warbler</b> in the small wood. It was mobile and
typically hard to see but we had several decent, if brief, views. Too brief for
me to attempt photography although Dave managed some identifiable images. Others arrived and most saw the bird although it didn't become any easier. After over two hours we
left having seen <b>Yellow-browed Warbler</b>, <b>Pied Flycatcher</b>,
40 <b>Redwings</b>, <b>Wheatear</b>, 4 <b>Bramblings</b>, <b>Hawfinch</b> and a <b>Mealy</b> and 4 <b>Lesser Redpolls</b>. No Common Rosefinches which appeared to have departed. We returned to
Millfield along the coast seeing <b>Long-tailed
Duck</b> and 2 <b>Razorbills</b> in the
bay. Sheepdog Nine with an old deflated football following us all the way. We
had an early lunch and headed out to Burrafirth seeing yesterday’s <i>blythi </i><b>Lesser Whitethroat </b>along the burn, 5 <b>Redwings</b> in the bracken, 25 <b>Common Snipe</b> but no wagtails in the wet
area by the road (a possible Eastern Yellow had been seen there) and <b>Robin</b> at the
Shore Station. The fields around Haroldswick failed to produce anything other
than a few more <b>Redwings</b> while 53 <b>Golden Plover</b> and a <b>Wheatear</b> were our best in the fields
and along the walls at Clibberswick. What was intended as a brief stop before
spending the last hour or so of daylight at Valyie stalled when we parked at
Millfield and Dave spotted a putative moulting adult summer <b>American
Golden Plover</b> with 20 or so <b>Golden
Plovers</b> feeding in the field above their house. Although fairly distant it
looked very good to me too. More so when I took a photo and zoomed in to see
its big white supercilium and thick white-breast sides. Dave set up his scope
and we confirmed the identification and took more distant photos. After about
10 minutes they and many more plovers that had been hidden over the brow of the
hill flew up and around before dropping out of sight. The flock, numbering about 150, flew a
couple of times but always landed out of sight. We and newly arrived Rob tried walking up along a
fence-line to try and see into the area where we thought the birds had landed
but inadvertently flushed them again. This time they landed on a more distant
hillside and Dave picked out the bird again although I only saw it back on. </span></span><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

Beeding Brooks 14:10-19:20: <b>Kingfisher</b> 1, <b>Raven</b> 2, <b>Aquatic Warbler</b> 1, <b>Spotted Flycatcher</b> 1. The Aquatic Warbler continued to frustrate. Always at least partially obscured, I was reliant on manual focus and by the time I'd found the bird in the viewfinder and started focusing it had moved. Its progress could often be followed by movements in the grass but it was busy feeding (more so than previously?) on the ground of just above it and was very rarely visible. It always seemed as if I was poorly positioned but poor eyesight was probably my main handicap. Perseverance produced my best photos, although they were still rather disappointing compared to others, and I had some nice, but usually very brief views through binoculars. It was seen to go to roost and I wasn't surprised it had gone overnight. Between 10-20 birders, slightly fewer than previously, were present throughout and again all behaved sensibly, staying on the path, not rushing around and were generally fairly quiet. Tracking the birds progress through the grass suggested it was unconcerned by our presence.</span><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;
