Citrine Wagtail, Norwick, Unst 19th September 2015

A first-winter Citrine Wagtail was found by visiting Wirral birders Eddie Williams & Allan Conlin on the evening of our arrival on Shetland. We failed to see the bird the following day, but a return visit this morning was successful.

Almost immediately after we arrived on site the Citrine Wagtail was viewable on the beach rumaging about the seaweed for insects. Good views were obtained & we returned later in the afternoon & had excellent views as the bird remained in its favoured area on the beach.
