Tingwall Standing Stone on Shetland. The stone is also known as the ‘Murder Stone’, and is connected with the death of Lord Skaldale by his cousin Earl Henry of Orkney during the late 14th century. 📸 My own. #StandingStoneSunday #Prehistory #Tingwall #Shetland

Loch of Tingwall, Shetland, with the famous Manse standing proud overlooking the loch. Taken well after sunset, from a lay-by where we camped on the first night.

First day on Shetland started with a drake Ring-necked Duck on Loch of Tingwall. Then a trip over to Yell for an elusive Brown Shrike (seen twice in flight) + a skulking Barred Warbler before dipping a Short-toed Lark. Kicking around a few sites in north Mainland produced nowt of note.

It's a cool February morning in #Orkney and #BookyMcBookface is away on the ferry to the beautiful islands of Rousay and Egilsay. 📚
Rousay is known as the 'Egypt of the North' due to its incredible density of archaeological sites including neolithic tombs, chambered cairns and Viking remains.

Bit of a strange day, started with a Ring necked Duck at Tingwall then a Med Gull at Gremista. Just heading home across Yell when a message of a PG Tips on Unst came through, would be rude not to!
A skulking bird as per type but showed ok with patience.
High iso shots. #birdingshetland

September in Shetland highlights-
American Black Tern, Egyptian Nightjar, Western Bonelli's Warbler and brief views of a Lancy.
Favourite day was the 20th when I found a Buff-breasted Sandpiper with @ljohnbirding1.bsky.social at Eshaness after twitching the Glossy Ibis.

Also went over for the American black tern at Loch of Tingwall. Showed well in the drizzle and murk, hence the rather dark photos.
