Just an update, I got a call from Mark the county recorder, he
told me a buzzard was seen at the south end of the island, and
one seen on the westside, plus the one at Toft so it must be
different birds..
And the bird pellet I found at Valayre was an Owls pellet.. so
might be an Owl hanging around the conifers at Voxter..

I've never seen one either Lynne. although i was close to seeing
one yesterday. they are relatively rare in shetland, not much
chance of spotting one today, with this horrible weather..

I was talking to the county recorder [ Mark ] yesterday.. he
told me that he seen a Sparrow Hawk at Voxter, it was flying
towards the conifers up from Voxter house..
And no sightings of the Rough legged Buzzards were reported..
And no sign of the Scandinavian [northern Bullfinch] yet. I'll
look for it later..
