Raising the wind turbine, man power for wind power! |
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. |
