Shetland 2005

Dusky Warbler
This record shot of a Dusky Warbler was taken shortly after we found this bird near Voe on Mainland.

Black Guillemot
Black Guillemot in Lerwick harbour - something of a novelty for us southern birders.

Goldcrest
Goldcrests on migration are always impressive.   How did such a small bird manage to cross the North Sea?   This individual was one of 5 that were feeding on a garden lawn in Symbister, Whalsay.   They were keeping low to avoid the strong wind.
