Warblers are not boring like ducks

Friday 24th September 2010

Another blustery day in the south mainland of Shetland.
Returned to Sumbrugh head and the relatively sheltered quarry.
A good mix of Warblers, including this Barred Warbler.




























































Well you know how i feel about warblers, and this Goldcrest
is no exception.
I have tried for a few years now to obtain them hovering.


and a smart Chiffchaff

Warblers are my thing, they rarely just sit about, like boring ducks,they move around a lot like err warblers.
This Arctic Warbler was at Sumbrugh Head.
A smart example, with a rather thin neat Super, distinct grey nape, but just a feint wingbar on its left wing and non on the right.

A chance encounter with a Snow Bunting





























Tuesday 21st September


Obtaining images of Sanderlings is not all that difficult.
However they can look rather weird when frozen in time.
I tried for the fast moving bird, trying for the suspended look.
