2020 has been a good year for rare birds in Highland despite everything that's been going on in the world, June and the west coast of Highland is good for Black-headed Bunting, but imagine finding one in your garden! this one from Gairloch #highlandbirds https://twitter.com/RedRiverCroft/status/1270068031834775553?s=20
Then in July we had a Semi-palmated Sandpiper at Dornoch Point found by Dean MacAskill the 3rd record for Highland! https://twitter.com/AlMcNee/status/1279909364078428163?s=20
and Dornoch continued it's run of form with a "Queen" King Eider in August and then again in September with this stunning Baird's Sandpiper! https://twitter.com/ronpon_ron/status/1334885765168422912?s=20
Then we had one of the best runs of large shears in Highland for a long time, including this... https://twitter.com/macstronach/status/1298216519550337024?s=20
Then the following day the second ever Greenish Warbler for Highland found by myself and @SwannBob again at Tarbat Ness! https://twitter.com/macstronach/status/1298578277540466688?s=20
Then on the 10th October, suffice to say a bird no Highland birder was expecting to see here! A Western Orphean Warbler skulking in the gorse and elders of Lothbeg Point, a first for Highland and a mindblowing find by Dean, what a year he has had!! https://twitter.com/NijmegenBirder/status/1315738176472911873?s=20
Then later in October another first for Highland an Eastern Yellow Wagtail on Eigg!, which would have been popular in a normal year... https://twitter.com/SkyeBirdsBob/status/1322253575779766272?s=20
The third "first" for Highland came in early November with a Dusky Warbler at Rubha Dearg, Torridon. This was the year for it to finally happen with a massive influx into the country! https://twitter.com/macstronach/status/1325814711603048449?s=20
Here is hoping for plenty more to entertain us in 2021!
