Lanceolated Warbler on Fair Isle
I've not got so many photos recently as I'd like as its been so busy with fieldwork. Lanceolated warbler apparently turn up here just about every autumn. They should be much further east than here and I don't think their chances of making it back on the right course are too high.

Canon 300 f/4 L IS
Sigma 1.4 EX DG

Hi Adam,

Lovely shot of this rare vagrant. I would have liked to have seen the bird slightly higher in the frame but that a minor nit.

Grrr....this one is a gaping hole in my list! Given how elusive they are you've got a pretty good shot here.
