SHETLAND BIRD NEWS & MORE!

Friday 19th April
 
Rare  Bird  Alert  News 
Hawfinch at Stendaal, South Nesting. Blue Fulmars x 3, Snow Bunting on Fair Isle. Hawfinch at Hillend, Yell.
 
 
Good selection of birds in the garden again, including Bramblings, Siskins, Chaffinches, Starlings, House Sparrows, Robin, Blackbird, Rock Dove. Used my new Flymo cylinder lawnmower today for the first time and it was absolutely brilliant – cuts really well and didn't take very long at all.

Met my new neighbour who moved in on Wednesday, a very nice young local man called Murray, who went to school with my colleague Catherine he told me and his mum lives in the village too. We ended up chatting with Jimmy (my neighbour the other side) who said he had seen the female Hawfinch several times in his garden today, so its still around! Lit the fire this evening, bitter north west winds.
