It is times like these when all the young able body men get together that you quickly realize we are all over 40
 |
| The Reed Bunting from a few days ago... but I did not see it today the crop is all cut now and it my have moved on? |
 |
| Dunnock (ringed) still hanging around... could stay for the winter? |
 |
Large flock of Snow Buntings viewed from my garden.
In the South Harbour? |
 |
| What's that? |
 |
| Little Gull Hydrocoloeus minutus |
 |
2 Little Gulls probably the best rare birds that I have blundered into in the past few days...
I found them in the South Harbour driving back from the "Shop" yesterday.
Two is a good record for Fair Isle.
I made special effort to make a record shot with both birds in frame for any of you doubters out there. |

| Plenty of Purple Sandpipers like this one. |

| Welcome home & Happy Thanksgiving from Fair Isle. |
