Pechora Pipit

Along with 135 others, visited Goodwick Moor today (21st November 2007) and of course was not disappointed. The PECHORA PIPIT was showing EXCEPTIONALLY WELL from at least 0745-1100 hours (and again from 1315-1535 hours). The bird really is superb and I recommend all of you to take the trouble to travel down and see it. Pechora Pipit is a very rare bird indeed away from the Northern Isles and this may well be a once-in-a-lifetime chance to enjoy such wonderful views of this Siberian vagrant. It seems extremely well settled and could, if the European Robin and weather allow, remain for an extended period, perhaps even overwinter (the habitat is typical of that where the species winters in SE Asia).

The bird was found by local birder Adrian Rogers on Monday afternoon, after he visited the site in the hope of connecting with a Firecrest seen on Sunday.Although unsure of the bird’s identity, Adrian and two further local birders (Steve Berry and Carl ?) stood in heavy rain observing the bird for an hour to 1600 hours before confirming it with Paul Grennard and David Astins early next morning (Tuesday 20th).
