@jhmpch @puffinpassion @BirdGuides @RareBirdAlertUK @birdobs_council @NatureInShet @shetlandbirds @NRonBirdObs @Natures_Voice @RSPBScotland @ScottishBirding John. We do have a poor copy of a photo by Angela David which may be the one you mention. I'm not sure if BBRC still have it - they returned a lot of forms to FIBO which unfortunately didn't survive the fire.
