Short-billed Dowitcher, adult in moult at Drift Res this afternoon (14th Sept). Delighted to find it but will admit that was a difficult id in this plumage. Thanks to Killian Mullarney for confirming id.

Death's-head Hawk wasn't what we were expecting on a really breezy and cool night - Obs moth-traps otherwise very quiet.

Well, I only took 2,391 images (in 4hrs) of the Blue-cheeked Bee-eater on Sanday yday! Here's a selection of my better ones. At times it was c.5 metres above our heads and just too quick for me to follow! Unimaginable views! Olympus OM-1 mk2 with Leica Panasonic 100-400 lens. #OrkneyBirding
