Love this
Nearly all of them heading for the Strait of Gibraltar for the short hop over to Morocco
Don’t mess with corvids, they have previous
Hope this one survives on the big ocean
I think this is the place for this
Some really stunning work in there - thanks for posting it up Kev 
There have been many cases of vagrants found in Britain (particularly those arriving from the Nearctic) that have been - rightly or wrongly - attributed to ship-assisted passage.
As to whether they are accepted (or not) on the “British List” is a minefield of argument, self-interest* and prime fuckwittery that leaves me cold.
*which side of the argument you support is inextricably linked to whether you saw the bird… 
Wouldn’t the tag be tracked?
What tag?
In Kevin’s post it said “which was tagged in the Borders”. Would that prove if true or not?
Yes, but I didn’t mention the bird in Kev’s post. I was talking about ship assisted vagrants in Britain.
Sorry, missed that
3 hours in the field today and little to show for it. A few scarce/rare birds have been reported at various locations throughout Shetland but pretty hard going on Fetlar.
A very flighty Yellow-browed Warbler in a mate’s garden at Funzie was the only bird of any note.
Glossy Ibis at The Haa of Funzie this afternoon
They have been recorded on the other islands but it’s the first record for Fetlar
There were 3 of them, occasionally seen together.
Didn’t realise they’d got that far north
Only as passage migrants.
Black coloured migrants?!
I will be seeing loads of them next week.
Common as muck on the fairways of the Algarve 
Should be an epilepsy warning on that Gif
