The first new species for me was a Bonelli's Warbler at Virkie South Shetland.
Memories of the Thornton Rosefinch, we saw several during our two week stay.
Good views of up to six Lapland Buntings on FI.
I never tire of watching Fulmar from the cliffs.
Several Great Spots were frequenting the islands, looking for trees!
The highlight for me was finding a Corncrake on FI, not a common bird on the island.
Twite were common.
The rarest bird I saw. Wrens of the race zetlandicus. Once down to only a few pairs.
Several Barred warblers were seen ,both on FI and Shetland.
Another new species for me, Subalpine Warbler at Mid Yell.
A very obliging Icterine Warbler at Norwick, Unst.
Shetland demands to be photographed, but I can never do it justice.
Fair Isle under the rainbow.
Now where is that Magnolia warbler!!
Yellow browed warblers were every where , easily the most common warbler.
One way to get to the islands with a ship load of Vikings!
Plane over and Good Shepherd back.
You had some good birds mate and took some nice images.....................
