Western Bonelli's Warbler, Sumburgh 17th September 2015

On the first day of my visit to Shetland, the first port of call was Sumburgh Head Lighthouse where a Western Bonelli's Warbler had been in residence in the compound since 14th September.

The bird was mostly inhabiting a small area of thistles, giving excellent views. Only the second time I've seen Western Bonelli's.

We also found two Yellow-browed Warblers in Sumburgh Hotel garden. A nice bonus.
