Autumn in full swing - 4th October 2009

4th OCTOBER 2009

The Veery and Pechora Pipit still on Whalsey.
Decided to return for the Veery for what could be the once in a lifetime encounter.
The wonderfull people of Whallsey gave me a first rate welcome.Because of repairs to the ferry terminal on the island, only foot passengers allowed onto the island. So I thought the chance to see the showy Pechora Pipit was once again out of the question. But Jason Atkinson a Whalsey birder offered to run me over to the other side of the island to give the bird a try.
The bird gave us supurb views. Many thanks to Jason, Whalsey Birders and residents.








Back at Symbister,intermitant views of the Veery,but still a superb day.
