3 Purple Sand and an Otter having fun in the Snow this afternoon in Burravoe. #YellBirding #Burravoe #Shetland

Beluga Whale showing distantly in the North Mainland of Shetland today. diving regularly for long periods so presumably feeding well. #Beluga #Shetland #Cetaceantick 😎🥶👍

Went to see the Red-necked Grebe at Quendale today. An interesting bird possibly of the North American race 'holbollii'. Unfortunately, it might be impossible to prove without biometrics! But still a very nice bird and great find by Roger Riddington.... #Shetland #Subspecies

Canada Goose and Barnacle Geese on Unst today. The size of Canada appears to dwarf the local Greylags..... #Unst #Shetland

3cy Kumlien's Gull again patrolling the beach in Uyeasound, Unst...... #Unst #Shetland

Mother Otter with two well grown young in Sth Yell. #Otter #Shetland #Yell

Some nice-looking Eiders today between Yell and Fetlar. Some showing sails and lovely mustard coloured bills (possibly of 'Northern' origin!)..... #YellBirding #Shetland

3cy Glaucous Gull showing well on a beautiful sunny Shetland day..... 😎

Hawfinch dropping in briefly to have a look at my feeders this morning. #YellBirding #Burravoe #Shetland

Not able to get out birding this weekend, but thankfully this Waxwing decided to drop into my garden on its way back to Scandinavia. #YellBirding #Shetland #MigrationMagic

A very brief view of a female Ring Ouzel on Unst this morning....... #Shetland #Unst

Just watched this female Red-backed Shrike hunting a Lesser Whitethroat, in the same bush that held a singing Marsh Warbler yesterday. Gotta love Shetland during migration!..... #Shetland #YellBirding #MigrationMagic

💥Thrush Nightingale💥 showing outrageously in Nth Yell today. Many thanks to the homeowners (Jim & Lynn) for their great hospitality! 👍 #YellBirding #Shetland #MigrationMagic #RareBirdAlertUK #Birdguides

Another Icterine Warbler in Sth Yell today. Though tbh, I had more enjoyment watching a pair of Ravens repeatedly trying to catch a Swift! 😳 #YellBirding #Shetland

Arctic Skua in South Yell on a beautiful sunny evening..... #Shetland #YellBirding

A pristine looking juvenile Twite. They appear to have had a good breeding season this year, with loads of small flocks in the South of Yell just now. #YellBirding #Shetland #Burravoe

Birds in unusual places...... A Storm Petrel (under a planter), hiding from the high winds hitting Shetland yesterday. #YellBirding #Shetland #Stormie
