Looking like it was going to be another day of toil, when we finally managed to twitch one of the few Red-breasted Flycatcher found on the islands, successfully! Buoyed by this success we lacked a plan and were basically revisiting old haunts, when a White's Thrush was found on Fetlar. Since we were half way up mainland this seemed possible: 2 ferries and the timing thereof, and a lot of driving for Hawky. The extras of a slightly damaged Swainson's would be just the icing on the cake.
