If you are birding in Shetland you never know what or when a rare bird will turn up.
I was down at Quendale yesterday looking at a Red Breasted Flycatcher which was being chased by a Garden Warbler.
After an hour in the area i noticed an increase in migrants with a dozen Swallow and 4 Willow Warbler
I was drawn to a raptor in a clear blue sky, a Black kite !!!, amazing these are rare birds in Shetland
It passed up the valley circling around before coming back down towards the mill and then headed up to Hillwell
A few gulls and around 20 Starlings buzzed it but the kite didn't seemed bothered
