We often look for (mermaid’s purses) shark, ray & skate eggcases on our beach walks. Beautiful rectangular or square empty vessels, light & wonderfully variable in colour, they are always a joy to find! Check out our blog today! shetlandseabirdtours.com/blog/

Red-necked Grebe update - Andrew Harrop found the corpse on Quendale beach this morning and we measured it in our garage - wing 198, bill 56.0, tarsus 63.9 - which makes it a male holbollii Nature in Shetland RareBirdAlertUK BirdGuides

The first, calm, sunny day in what felt like forever, so I suggested to Susannah we had our morning brew outside. She immediately found this Crane (so I get at least half the finders credit for suggesting the outside tea, right?). Comfortably Fair Isle's earliest ever record.

The Quendale Red-necked Grebe - found by Roger Riddington yesterday & a possible candidate for holbollii (American). A bird I was delighted to see this this afternoon in incredibly stormy conditions.

A first for us yesterday with Phil finding a Blackmouth Catshark eggcase while we were beachcombing!! As they are a deeper water species, the eggcases are rarely washed ashore and recorded in the UK. Not sure of any #Shetland records? The Shark Trust Nature in Shetland UHI Shetland

What a fantastic day this has been for Scotland's seabirds, as Scottish Government announced an end to industrial sandeel fishing in Scottish waters. Watch below, as our Director, Anne McCall, reflects on this milestone moment 👇
