| Any birds about? This is what I call the Fair Isle hello... this is the most familiar greeting on the isle and my most asked question from birdwatchers as they pass my Auld Haa. "Mel" is a common migrant birdwatcher who has been coming to Fair Isle for many years now, far longer than I've lived hear that's for sure. |

Nice photo of Mel, love the picture of the blackcap. I could use your eyes for the birds at our feeder. Most I know but there are a couple that are strange. They are going through the seed at a tremendous rate this time of year (autumn)
