Hello George,
Really enjoying looking at your bird photographs. Became
interested when we lived in Fair Isle for a couple of years. We
lived in the Old Hall which had a bird trap at the back. We used
to catch birds before we went to school and put them in a bag
until the 'birdman' came to pick them up and ring them. I was
only 7 at the time. My daughter is very jealous when I tell her
about catching the birds but to us it was just a normal morning.
Great days.
Shire.

Thats very interesting, I was just reading a post by
shetlandwild, on twitter..
Another great day: Dave and group on Fair Isle had the
Olive-backed Pipit again, and a Barred Warbler on the window
ledge of the guest house! This was at the old haa.. They
maintain they serve the best meals on Fair Isle.. its a small
world.. ;D
My friends the Gerrards, tony & beth, were out there a couple of
weeks ago.. they love it..

I was a wee bit disappointed at Sandgarth yesterday, the birds
were a little camera shy ::)
But I did see a few blackcaps, goldcrest and a robin..
I got one photo of the goldcrest, but it was deep in the
pine-tree, so i will not show it, the blackcaps would'nt stay
still long enough for me to get a photo, but the robin did,
albiet a bit far away.. here he is, about 100 feet from me..

Re: Recent birds.. ID needed..

This wee warbler was feeding at Toft beach, mainly on the rotten
seaweed, i guess it was full of insects.. But as some people
know, i'm not too good with warblers, so i need an ID for this
bird..
This is the habitat that it was feeding on..
