Collared Flycatcher - Ficedula albicollis |
Well done to Asst. Warden Richard Cope for finding and identifying a rare and tricky Female Collared Flycatcher. The bird was caught up at the mast on Ward Hill in a mist net, to confirm the ID. I guess that makes Richard the winner of the unspoken birding competition that takes place with every Fair Isle Bird Observatory Directors Meeting. I like "seeing" the new guy earn some respect... and a nice bird.

Hundreds of Dolphins were seen from a distance off the northern cliffs. Seen here as a dark strip of disturbance on the calm Sea above the nesting Gannet colony on Kirk Stack.
