I didn’t know this about Eiders. I guess there’s no eating in the legs 🤣

Thank you 🙂

I know for many the Raven is such a common bird in Shetland. For me it was wonderful to see it so frequently, to hone my ID, rather than just fleeting glimpses overhead. Hearing its wonderful croak….

Here’s one I captured in Lerwick Harbour.

Like a dart!!

Thank you so much. I was so excited to see it so close.

Another first, was seeing this Knot so close in. Often seen hanging out with Dunlin, it was great to compare it’s stockier appearance and shorter bill. Seen previously in flocks so was lovely to get this view. #birdingscotland #shetland

Thank you 🙂

I loved seeing t them so close and the reflections in the water.

What a lovely comment to share. Thank you so much for taking the time to do that. I really appreciate it. Not something I had even considered.

It was lovely to she these close views of Dunlin. My usual viewing is through a scope. Such useful learning to get an eyes view and a better sense of their size and behaviour. #birdingscotland #shetland #scotland #dunlin

Stunning !!

Nicely caught.

Hooded Crow. Mostly found in the North of Scotland and Ireland. This one was hanging around Lerwick harbour. #Shetland #birdingscotland #hoodedcrow

A rather wet Rock Pipit keeping watch. #sumburgh #shetland #birdingscotland #rockpipit

They are the best for guiding in the Straits.

Thank you. By far the best views I’ve had of this bird.

Yellow Browed Warbler. Seen only fleetingly before. The bird the size roughly of a Gold Crest has come all the way from Siberia. Can you imagine that tiny thing fighting all those elements? Isn’t nature just incredible 😍 #shetland #birdingscotland #birding #yellowbrowedwarbler

The Mirrie Dancers came were out last night ….. #shetland #mirriedancers #northernlights

Right back at you 😊

Thank you my first time here 😊

Time to explore Shetland. Holding onto any human, as the gusts of wind up build up.

On a a slightly calmer day yesterday this Twite popped up. #twite #birdingscotand #shetland #shetlandnature #birding

The Straits keep on giving. Thank you to @ingloriousbustards.bsky.social. And for @birdingthestrait who helped discover new places. Love the magic of the Straits
