Churchill Barrier #4 (so-called because... well, click on the link 😉) was a magnet for shorebirds and passerines during our stay on #Orkney; first up, a few of the waders. More here: northernrustic.blogspot.com/2025/04/orkn...

Almost every bay holds multiple Great Northern Divers here in #Orkney - displaying the full spectrum of of moult, from non-breeding to (almost) full breeding plumage, like this bird a minute from the cottage here on Burray.

A drake Long-tailed Duck soaking in the last rays of the sun on the Peedie Sea in Kirkwall - there can't be many town 'duck ponds' with displaying Long-tailed Ducks a regular feature! #OrkneyBirds

A handful of 'borealis' Eiders were present in a several-hundred-strong flock near Kirkwall this morning, looking that bit more flamboyant than the locals, with their brighter bills and pointed 'sails' #orkneybirds

A well-timed visit to the Loons this morning resulted in another brief view of the Bittern that’s currently in residence, as it crept across an open channel in the reeds #OrkneyBirds

Not the November bird I had mind, but the first Brown Booby for Orkney was a very welcome find after a dry spell. Not quite as smart as yesterdays Eyebrowed Thrush, Craig seems to attract bright orange birds! #scottishbirds #OrkneyBirds #UKbirding

All the lovely habitat we have here on the island and the Black-faced Bunting chooses a cattle pen full of litter…

And of course we had a fab time #birding the islands finding a few waifs and strays for ourselves (and others) on our travels. #orkney #orkneybirding #orkneybirds #birds
