Birding day out

 We haven't had a full day out birding for months due to Robs health. It was glorious today so we left early and started on our local patch, then  making our way East and South. 

SANDNESS AND MELBY








LERWICK 














HOSWICK



BODDAM






GRUTNESS  and WEST VOE







SUMBURGH 




And SCALLOWAY  with the cracking Rough legged  Buzzard.







A 53 species day, not too shabby.
