I'm more than probably the last birder in Shetland to go and see the American Coot, so headed south around midday to see if I could see it. With a map of favoured areas kindly sent from Hugh H. I searched Spiggie Loch as much as I was physically able to in the strong winds. I found Whooper Swans, Curlews, a Golden Eye, lots of Wigeon, Mallards, Starlings, Ravens and Hooded Crows. I couldn't even find a Eurasian Coot, but I guess its out there somewhere still. I will have another look over the festive season when I have more time and maybe when its a bit calmer.

Jill and Rob popped round late afternoon and very kindly gave me a Christmas present and card. I now have presents from Vivien and Jill & Rob. Lucy isn't bothering this year she told Vivien and I! At work tomorrow and Tuesday and then off for five days and the same the following week.
