Always good numbers of Twite in Shetland as well as 100's of noisy Starlings
Seems to be good numbers of Oystercatcher now breeding and they returned in January, normally not seen in numbers until March
This could be another bad year for bird flu, already about 5,000 Black Headed Gulls have been found dead, as they have migrated through infected areas in Europe. Also two people confirmed with bird flu this week in separate incidents. When we do beach surveys we now spray the birds to inform others that they have already been counted as they could well be infected.
Black Headed gulls already hard hit with bird flu, which species will be next
In the past few days had distant views of American Wigeon, Garganey and White Tailed Eagle but northerly winds have halted migration
