I found a Shetland Bumble Bee (Moss Carder subspecies) nest today - just a small hole in the heather with around 20 bees flying around, and several discarded larval chambers (thanks Jon Dunn 🇺🇦 ) outside.

A great week assisting Harry Martin Photography and guests of Mc2 Photography in Shetland, where everyone got to see the best of Shetland's wildlife - maybe not the best of Shetland's weather though!

I'm not one to go to these twitchy things, but since there was a Pacific Swift visible from the living room, I made an exception. If it was a Pacific Slow, it may have been easier to photograph.

A very defensive Shelduck checking on it's brood.. this is one of the same pair that were attacking other ducklings last week.

Shelduck violence - a couple of days ago they were attacking their own kind! Although I didn't see any actual deaths, the family with four ducklings only had one left the following day.

Some things I've never photographed before - only the 3rd Fox I've ever seen. The first Buzzard I've photographed, and I was very chuffed to see a Chough.
