This happens more than you would think... I'm cooking for guesthouse visitors and I get the call about a bird! I have one house rule no one gets upset if dinner is late if a raw bird has been found. It doesn't matter if they are a birders or not... Lucky for me I have a house full of birders today from the Shetland Wildlife Bird Tours and everyone was more than happy to eat after a good viewing. The bird was quite far away but I managed to put my little camera to someones scope and got these record shots. |

| What a good looking bird! I know I wish I had better photos... but Wagtails are very flighty and we didn't want to risk flushing it. We knew others would want to see it after dinner. |

| THE WIND WILL BLOW THE FLEECE FROM THE SHEEP TONIGHT! We are bracing for the forecasted GALE FORCE 8 TONIGHT It's nights like these in Spring and Autumn we dream of North American birds found the next day... I'm predicting Vesper Sparrow? but everyone else wants an American Warbler, that's fine by me. |
