It's great when birding throws nice surprises your way, today was certainly one of those days. Uninspiring westerlies and then... Subalpine Warbler ! No dropped feathers but a poo sample recovered from the bag so🤞.
Then in the evening... Cuckoo !

Raspberry Clearwing was new for the Norwich garden yesterday. Given westerlies, it may have originated from raspberries in a nearby allotment.

This week's Weather Wednesdays is about westerlies, trade winds, and hurricane tracks.
Why do hurricanes move west while other weather systems across the US move east?

Forecast models are generally quite assertive in it turning less cold and milder on Sunday with milder Atlantic air. The earlier ECM 00z had 10C in south. But most recent 06z ECM we see milder westerlies encounter much greater resistance with deep cold to east also closer to UK.

The westerlies continued through the middle of our @oriolebirding.bsky.social Shetland tour although there were still great birds to be seen. This Western Bonelli's Warbler was at Okraquoy but even more exciting was finding a smart 1cy Citrine Wagtail on the beach at Grutness. #UKBirding

Newer modelling increasingly narrowing period of stronger stratospheric westerlies & deceleration in zonal wind in mid January. This would increase the likelihood of January 2026 being persistently cold evidently early month will be. If things fall right it could be a very cold winter month.

Tough day on Yell in strong westerlies that persist until tomorrow. Highlights: 2 juv arctic tern, Slav grebe, and a juv peregrine nobbling a golden plover at West Sandwick. A 1w little gull and an interesting golden plover with unfortunately white underwings at Cullivoe. @phelpstoby.bsky.social

Rooks signal the beginning of the Autumn display flights - they can feel the strength of the Atlantic westerlies increasing.
Rooks, Jackdaws, some Crows & even a few Ravens come together to celebrate the beginning of the display season.

A morning on Sheringham seafront seawatching with wryneckbirdingnk.bsky.social. Strong north westerlies were promising but didn't really deliver. 2 possible Cory's,Manx,Red throated Diver(lots),Common Scoter,Brent Goose,Eider and Arctic Tern.

The persistent, strong, north-westerlies largely put paid to any hopes of spring overshoots this past week on Tiree, but there's always the local specialities to keep you entertained (and awake at night) #tireebirding.
