Been mainly working in the office over the last week.
With the shorter days now upon us.
Its time again for my other passion, and a painting in progress, of a Pallases Warbler.

New- bird of the Autumn
A couple of days ago i called the Isabeline Shrike, the bird of the Autumn, and im pleased to be proved wrong. This Red Flanked Bluetail at Kergord yesterday was the best plumage condition I had seen , the first I had seen in real woodland habitat and this bird showed its self off like the true star it was.

back to the ranch
After the large number of birds yesterday,today was a contrast,as most seemed to have moved out. after scouring south mainland Shetland, with Great Grey Shrike the only bird of note.
On the way back to the ranch, called in at Channerwick a few common migrants, and this welcome Red Breasted Flycatcher.

Tiny Gems
Today was a day full of birds, with a good fall of migrants.
While photographing Goldcrests at Sumbrugh, i followed a lead in to the nearby fields to find this Stunning gem , a Pallass's Warbler.
I was accompanied by Dougie Preston, who heard the call of a Richards Pipit and thanks to Dougie we tracked down the bird to confirm his find.

Wave Goodby
Hunted in the morning for a Citrene Wagtail that had been around for a few days, but even with local knowledge,could not track down.
Early after noon and a number of birds came out, including this Red Flanked Bluetail at Geoster.
A tricky critter,only obtaining a single image i was happy with.
But loads of other common migrants .
This Pied Flycatcher in some great light,and the characteristic flick of the wings.
