Quendale Shetland signs of spring

Although the weather has been cool and winds coming from the north, a few migrants have started to appear.


Wheatears all the way from Africa brightens any day and there was 4-5 above the dam, mostly along the walls




Four Twite had a quick bath in the stream before flying up to the wall to dry out
Lots of Starling activity, this female( Pink base to beak) looks very smart

 

Four Blackcap , three males and a female  spent all the time around the mill


A pair of Linnet put in an appearance, not a common bird but most on the other side of Quendale bay



 In addition to these birds, two Swallows , two Gt Skua, Raven (25) Rock Dove (100+) Oystercatcher (238) Curlew (12) Blackbird (18) and plenty of House Sparrow
