Absolutely delighted to have 2 Bohemian Waxwing drop into my Scalloway garden this afternoon to feed on Hollyberry Cotoneaster. One looks to be an adult male but I'm not sure about the other. Hopefully it's going to be a Waxwing winter 🤞 #ukbirding

Twite on Shetland last month - nice to be in amongst these subtly-smart finches throughout the islands. #BirdingScotland @scottishbirding.bsky.social #shetland

Jack Snipe in a Shetland iris bed adopting the 'you cannot see me' freeze-pose. These pint-sized relatives of the more numerous Common Snipe are regular autumn migrants to Shetland from Scandinavia and further east but the vast majority go undetected. #BirdingScotland #UKbirding #Birds #UKWildlife

The last couple of weeks have seen good numbers of Long-eared Owls making landfall in Shetland. This stunning individual in the south Mainland was one of four seen today. #BirdingScotland #UKbirding #Birds #UKWildlife

I should be finishing edits on my new book. But this popped up in my Shetland garden this morning - Dusky Warbler, a new bird for the house list. 194 species - modest by some Shetland standards, but it's got one or two gems on it.

#WIPWednesday 🧶 My Handspun Honeycomb Blanket is coming along nicely after a false start! I ripped back to the cast on as was not happy with the size, now back on track. I've used up the Black Welsh, Shetland/Texel mix, and am now using the Shetland Moorit😊. Next up, more delicious browns!
