Missed a clear slot 0700-0800 and that was the chance to post some vis to add to routine stuff observed in wet weather from a car. Re-the national show-stopper: extracted lots of Magnolia Warblers from mist nets at Long Point in 1985 - superb birds, but not worth a charter. Surprised it wasn't there this morning, but just don't understand meteorologically how this and the Swainson's Thrush arrived on Shetland accompanying a huge Yellow-browed invasion? Redirecting from Iceland or Norway having been brought in by the remnants of Isaac's northerly track?
