The local Black Guillemot's (or 'Tystie's) were performing very well this morning! Constantly calling and chasing each other among the rocks of South Yell... Also seen this morning was a migrating imm
Glaucous Gull heading North, and a few Wheatears including a singing male!
Excellent shots! I'm a birder from Manchester and am heading up with my camera towards the end of next month, could you give a confused southerner any advice birding-wise? Its my first time up that far north!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks,

Cheers Joe... There are many ways to keep up to date with the wildlife sightings in Shetland! (web; Nature Shetland) or (Facebook; Shetland Wildlife/Nature Shetland pages). These Facebook pages regularly post up to date sightings of Orcas too!
ReplyDeleteA trip to Fetlar for the Phals, and a trip to Moussa for the Petrels is surely a must for a first time visit though! As is Sumburgh Head for the customary Puffin photos!
Good luck mate, and hope the weathers kind!
