One of the ambition birds for birders visiting Shetland, Pechora Pipit is a "Sibe" misdirected from the breeding grounds of Siberia so that instead of reaching wintering areas in Southern Asia it pitches up pretty much annually on Britain's Northern Isles. Ths one arrived in Quendale near the Southern end of Mainland Shetland where it remained for a few days showing unusually well (they are inveterate skulkers) intermittently on a drystone wall.
