Acting on two-month-old news of the apparent reappearance of the Shetland Tengmalm’s Owl, Phil Harris successfully pinned down this now truly unblocked mega.
Jackie and Erik Moar didn't recognise a small owl perched outside their bedroom window in Shetland's west mainland, but John Coutts was on hand to confirm the identification and set a major twitch in motion.
With many birders off work and making the most of spare time, there has traditionally been a peak in rare bird discoveries over the Christmas and New Year period. Ed Stubbs provides some inspiration for the coming days.
