On the way back from south mainland, Shetland, News came out of a Whites Thrush. In the village that I live.

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

Thursdayy 23rd September 2010

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.
