HOOPOE

Finally got close enough to this bird to get a few distant shots, lost count of the visits we made to the site. The last shot would have been nice if it had been in focus.












REED WARBLER Sp

01-10-2016 - Sandgarth NR, Mainland, Shetland

First visit to this location to look for a Sykes/Blyth's/????. Interestingly a huge amount of excitement surrounded the bird below, which we believe is a Reed Warbler.....unless someone comes up with the definitive answer?? Also present were Blackcap, Yellow-browed Warbler & Chiffchaff.
