Shetland Arctic Terns

Although there has been less Arctic Terns in Shetland, possibly down to Bird Flu the colony down at Grutness seems to have done ok


There might only be 25% of last years terns here. Elsewhere on Bressay only one check raised with a few dead ones 


These terns will be migrating south anytime now and have to pass though several areas infected with the flu and already 1,000 have died further south.
It will be interested to see how many return next year
