Nice return of #fairislefriday
As Fair Isle is experiencing a mini influx of Rustic Buntings, it seems appropriate to share some from 98/99.
A nice spring male, caught in the Gully trap, possibly the same male at the obs & 2 autumn birds (part of a record flock of 6) at Haa
October1987, my first visit to #FairIsleFriday here’s one of the many amazing birds I saw; anyone like to id the bird or the birders!
There are so many images I could post for #FairIsleFriday , but thought I'd start with this Gyr from 1st January 2005. Can't think of a better hangover cure on New Year's day! Fair Isle Bird Obs
Siberian Thrush, sketched on Fair Isle on 25th Sept 2008. This beautiful rare bird was discovered feeding in a deep geo in the steep ciffs at Guidicum by the sharp-eyed warden Deryk Shaw #fairislefriday
Been a quiet year personally birding-wise, so decided to get some painting done to reminisce on previous years. One for #FairIsleFriday here - Lanceolated vs Grasshopper warbler comparison. Hopefully will be able to add another species to this eventually!
A delight to play during 8 o’clocks at Shetland Wool Week on Tuesday. Traditional tea, tab nabs and yarns courtesy of Islesburgh Spinning and Knitting Group. What wisdom and skill! Happy #fairislefriday everyone!
