Back photographing the kingfishers today. They weren't very cooperative, but I did find this male sparrowhawk sat in the bankside woodland.

Kingfisher... It had just dropped off a fish at the nest, washed in the river and was shaking out water from its feathers.

A great skua, known in Shetland as a bonxie, flying off the cliffs at Hermaness. An amazing bird to watch in action.

A young little owl on my local patch last week. With so many trips this year I've neglected my local patch somewhat, so it was good to find this offspring where I normally find adults.

A whimbrel, the smaller relative of a curlew with an unmistakeable call. We encountered them all over Shetland but usually with a rod in hand rather than the camera. This one was circling me as I walked back from the coast - it clearly had a nest or young nearby.

The Shetland wren, a subspecies of the Eurasian wren, distinguished by its darker and more red-brown colouring and it is more heavily barred. The bill is stouter and longer and it has stronger legs. It inhabits cliffs and rocky shores, where this was taken as it flitted about under the rocks.
