The first PECHORA PIPIT of the year made landfall bang on cue on Fair Isle this morning (in fields near Kennaby) whilst the cool NW winds have induced a number of NORTHWESTERN and HORNEMANN'S ARCTIC REDPOLLS to appear, including three separate individuals on Foula.
Foula also attracted the first AMERICAN BUFF-BELLIED PIPIT of the year yesterday (Kevin Shepherd et al) following the influx of this species on Iceland during the past week
