Great Northern Diver, Gannet, Ring-necked Duck, Ferruginous Duck, Montagu's Harrier, Red-footed Falcon, Spotted Crake, Pectoral Sandpiper, Grey Phalarope, Arctic Skua, Roseate Tern, White-winged Black Tern, Wryneck, Shore Lark, Dipper, Black Redstart, Firecrest, Great Grey Shrike, Lapland Bunting and Snow Bunting?
........The answer. They have all been seen more times at Fairburn than our most recent visitor. With only two previous authenticated records, despite the fact that they breed within a mile or two of the reserve, this Nuthatch that is making regular visits to the wildlife garden feeders has proved a long-awaited addition to many a Fairburn list!!
