Long-Tailed Shrike was not on my radar when I woke up this morning. Very elusive but eventually managed some brief views today near Crail @FifeBirdNews

Ring Ouzel in Kinbuck, Upper Forth yesterday and today. Unexpected!

@SkyeBirdsBob @tigrina77 Yes, I ringed it in my garden yesterday afternoon. Spent most of today feeding on apples on my lawn. Will see how long it sticks around for!

@UForthBirder @UpperForthBirds Yes, it is visible in my other (poorer quality 😂) photos too. Unclear what it is, could be some blood staining the feathers from a small wound in that region, but couldn’t say for certain what it is

@wilsonjaredm Hi there. I think that leprosy would certainly be a differential here, from the photo provided. Liam.
