Today (Sunday) a birdwatcher on Fair Isle was treated to four exotic migrants.
Steve Arlow was taken aback after he spotted a golden oriole, snowy owl, subalpine warbler and a white-tailed eagle.
He said: “Seeing a snowy owl as an arctic species on the same day as a golden oriole and western subalpine warbler that have migrated from sub-sahara is one of the reasons why I return to Fair Isle.
“It is migration at its best and most exciting.”
