Shetland Leads On Rare Bird Sightings

The British Birds Rarities Committee (BBRC) has released its annual report on sightings of rare birds in Britain and it confirms that Shetland is the best place in Britain to find unusual species.

During 2008, the BBRC says that 27 rare species turned up in Shetland, more than in any other area. Indeed, Shetland sightings accounted for almost half the Scottish total. Shetland's very active local ornithologists share information through an excellent website. There's more about the BBRC report in this Daily Telegraph article.
