Redshanks are with us all year round and are very vocal, which is not great if you are trying to photograph birds nearby, they generally scare them off
There has been a massive fall of Blackbirds this last few days. Down at Grutness (23) , Sandwick (22) and Levenwick (63), most are males
Long Tailed Ducks are still around in good numbers but will soon be heading north to there breeding grounds. One of my favourite ducks
A flock of 28 Turnstone at Grutness, another 44 at West Voe and 12 at Sandsayre
Three Pied Wagtail new in at Grutness, and another black & White bird - a magpie at Wester Quarff this morning, in good condition. The other two , one on Whalsay and at Melby still present- is this the start of an invasion 😁😁. This is a very rare bird in Shetland
