Shetland Trip 2015 - Day 5 Mainland Shetland

After a smooth overnight crossing from Aberdeen drove straight to Norbury Loch to see the Pechora Pipit.  After an hour or so, with only frustration glimpses of the bird in flight and creeping through long grass, the bird showed very well in the open by a small stream.

On to Cott for the Arctic Warbler which showed only briefly and poorly.  An adult winter plumage Little Gull was at Weisdale with a flock of Black-headed Gulls.
