SHETLAND BIRD NEWS & MORE!

Rare  Bird  Alert  News
MAINLAND
Bonaparte's Gull feeding at Heogan Pier off Gremista, Lerwick.
Red-necked Grebe at marina, Pool of Virkie.
 
ISLANDS 
Thayer's Gull (probable) at Easter Loch, Uyeasound, Unst.
 
 
I left my binoculars and camera at home, so was not able to look for the Bonaparte's Gull after work and didn't have the energy to return to Lerwick again. Rain and gloomy weather for most of the day, but a glorious sunny evening, but in the last hour its been heavy rain again.
 
Female Chaffinch in my garden this evening along with the usual House Sparrows, Starlings, pair of Blackbirds, Rock Dove and Collared Doves. I feel pretty sure I saw a Great Tit fly over my neighbour Jimmy's garden from my living room window, but couldn't re-find it.
