Iberian Chiffchaff (update)

Irelands first Iberian Chiffchaff has not materialized so far this spring although there is time yet! At least six appeared in the UK including the first for Wales and the second for Scotland. My thanks to English birder Tristan Reid for this picture of an Iberian Chiffchaff taken a couple of days ago in South Yorkshire.

Newsflash!!!! One reported at Halligarth, Unst, Shetland today. It must have been blown off course on its way here. The map below shows this individuals predicted reverse migration at the end of the breeding season (no harm in being optimistic!).
