There are over 50,000 occupied Puffin burrows on the Isle of May. Pairs return each year to lay just a single egg. #puffins #isleofmay #birds #birdingscotland

Thank you so much. I was so excited to see it so close.

Another first, was seeing this Knot so close in. Often seen hanging out with Dunlin, it was great to compare it’s stockier appearance and shorter bill. Seen previously in flocks so was lovely to get this view. #birdingscotland #shetland

What a lovely comment to share. Thank you so much for taking the time to do that. I really appreciate it. Not something I had even considered.

It was lovely to she these close views of Dunlin. My usual viewing is through a scope. Such useful learning to get an eyes view and a better sense of their size and behaviour. #birdingscotland #shetland #scotland #dunlin

They are the best for guiding in the Straits.

Yellow Browed Warbler. Seen only fleetingly before. The bird the size roughly of a Gold Crest has come all the way from Siberia. Can you imagine that tiny thing fighting all those elements? Isn’t nature just incredible 😍 #shetland #birdingscotland #birding #yellowbrowedwarbler

Time to explore Shetland. Holding onto any human, as the gusts of wind up build up.

On a a slightly calmer day yesterday this Twite popped up. #twite #birdingscotand #shetland #shetlandnature #birding
