Bird of the year for me this year was Scops Owl, 15 mins from the house and I'm unlikely to see another in Wales. Closely followed by Brown Shrike found by @peninsulabirds.bsky.social ace bird. Super Scops Owl photo by @shaunevans.bsky.social

Nice couple of hours out this evening watching the Scops Owl in Dunvant Park. Not something I ever expected to get on my Welsh list. #birdingWales

You never quite know what to expect on Fair Isle! A female Nightjar just before lunchtime, then the evening produced a Blyth’s Reed Warbler and an amazing Scops Owl, much to the delight of guests and islanders at @fairislebirdobs.bsky.social #birdingscotland
