Shetland- two great white egret

Two Great White Egrets arrived at the Sandy Loch near Lerwick a couple of days ago

They were mainly seen in a burn at the north end but today spent sometime at the south end of the loch

I had just made it to the north end spotting Redshank, Snipe, Curlew, Greylag, Skylark and meadow pipit

Another birder was already walking the burn and although he had seen them earlier they had disappeared

News then came in they had flown to the south end and could be seen on the east bank. They flew a few times but just managed a couple of photos

 

Shetland Puffins

How many Puffin photos do you need ?, well certainly more this year

Sumburgh Head remains the easiest Puffin and seabird colony to see and can be found at the tip of the south mainland
 

Lots of Puffin activity this last couple of weeks.
