Yellow-browed Warblers and Recent Sightings Update

Over the past 5 days or so there have been good numbers of Yellow-browed Warblers arriving on the east coast from Siberia. Indeed we were lucky enough to see one at Fife Ness on Friday (27th) - thanks for the lift Fiona!

These birds have to move somewhere so keep an eye out in your local nature reserve, park or even your garden! One is known to have already reached the Clyde Area - reported from Baron's Haugh RSPB Reserve yesterday; and of course we had one in our Anniesland garden a few years ago (photo follows).........................

 

Good luck!
