Lanceolated Warbler is a rare vagrant from Eastern Europe and beyond, that arrives in Britain usually on the Northern Isles, making Shetland a magnet for those wishing to add it to their British lists. Finding one is an even greater desire and we had that thrill after flushing this one from the drystone walls at Sumburgh Head at the Southern extremity of Mainland Shetland. Luckily it then sat up on another wall for us and I was able to photograph it at fairly close range. Subsequently the other twitchers on Shetland arrived and enjoyed fantastic views.
