    Yellow Wagtail is full of intergrades e.g. 'Channel Wagtail', which is a mix of flavissima and flava. They're often quite striking and interesting birds.

    Would guess at some element of intergradation with flava in it, which is pretty common.

    Keep a look out for White-billed Divers. They're likely to be in that area in April/May time.

    That looks like a juvenile Razorbill, Paul.

    Sounds grim Pete. Very few landbird migrants around Aberdeen during May.

    Thanks for this thread Paul - it's always an interesting read for those of us waiting for arrivals on the east coast of Scotland. We've had a pretty similar year to you in Aberdeen!

    Interesting to hear about this Paul. I've not noticed anything obvious movement of thrushes in Aberdeen this morning - certainly nothing like we had last Tuesday when there were thousands.

    Well done on the Pied Fly. It'll be an autumn movement. There have been quite large numbers of Pied Flys in eastern Britain over the past week, though mostly further south of us. August is a normal time for them to appear as a migrant.

    Excellent - was hoping these would start coming in on these northerlies. Will have to get out for a look along the coast here soon.

    Always interesting to read this thread and to see what's turning up 'out there'. Late morning today, just as the wind turned round to the southwest, I had five Siskins in two groups flying purposefully out to sea from Aberdeen. They might be with you soon.

    I'll confess to being a bit concerned that the recorder thinks it's a Chiffchaff. It's very definitely not one.

    I think that's actually an Icterine Warbler.
