'Nice'

The last two days have seen me busy with aspects of life other than birding... Yes I know it sucks, but life does seem get in the way of having a good time, even in Shetland during Autumn!

Still, I've managed to find a few 'nice', but nothing 'rare'. The totals for the last two days include; 15 Red Grouse (anyone had a bigger group in Shetland?), 1 Wood Warbler, 1 Redstart, 1 Garden Warbler, 2 Chaffinch, 1 Willow Warbler (very pale bird), 2 Knot and 2 Bar-tailed Godwits.

Wood Warbler giving good head!;
