Hello George, |
|
Really enjoying looking at your bird photographs. Became |
|
interested when we lived in Fair Isle for a couple of years. We |
|
lived in the Old Hall which had a bird trap at the back. We used |
|
to catch birds before we went to school and put them in a bag |
|
until the 'birdman' came to pick them up and ring them. I was |
|
only 7 at the time. My daughter is very jealous when I tell her |
|
about catching the birds but to us it was just a normal morning. |
|
Great days. |
|
Shire. |

Thats very interesting, I was just reading a post by |
|
shetlandwild, on twitter.. |
|
|
|
Another great day: Dave and group on Fair Isle had the |
|
Olive-backed Pipit again, and a Barred Warbler on the window |
|
ledge of the guest house! This was at the old haa.. They |
|
maintain they serve the best meals on Fair Isle.. its a small |
|
world.. ;D |
|
My friends the Gerrards, tony & beth, were out there a couple of |
|
weeks ago.. they love it.. |

I was a wee bit disappointed at Sandgarth yesterday, the birds |
|
were a little camera shy ::) |
|
But I did see a few blackcaps, goldcrest and a robin.. |
|
I got one photo of the goldcrest, but it was deep in the |
|
pine-tree, so i will not show it, the blackcaps would'nt stay |
|
still long enough for me to get a photo, but the robin did, |
|
albiet a bit far away.. here he is, about 100 feet from me.. |

Re: Recent birds.. ID needed.. |

|
This wee warbler was feeding at Toft beach, mainly on the rotten |
|
seaweed, i guess it was full of insects.. But as some people |
|
know, i'm not too good with warblers, so i need an ID for this |
|
bird.. |
|
This is the habitat that it was feeding on.. |
