Back home now after a brilliant 12 days on Shetland.
As usual saw some great birds. Met the annual suspects, the West Midland crew and the London crew always a good craic and great to meet Phil Jones. To my crew Andy & @davidearlgray thanks for the laughs, brilliant!

Been a good couple of days on Shetland since coming off Foula. The SibeThrush was just wonderful and the Unst Blackpoll showed quite well on the seaweed after giving us the runaround.

A rare bird on Shetland, this Marsh Harrier helpfully flushed the Blue-winged Teal out of the reed bed at Spiggie this afternoon. #birds #ukbirding #shetlandbirds
Record shot of a Western Subalpine Warbler through the murk at Levenwick this morning. #birds #ukbirding #shetlandbirds
Amazing start to my first trip to Shetland. An hour after landing I was watching the Siberian Thrush, which gave great views in the open. Unfortunately the viewing window was narrow and my digiscope view was partially obscured but I was just happy to see it! #shetlandbirds
The male Siberian Thrush at Loch of Asta gave fabulous views again today #birds #ukbirding #shetlandbirds
Wild weather making for difficult birding conditions on Shetland today but nobody's day was ever made worse by a Lesser Whitethroat. #birds #ukbirding #shetlandbirds
Common Rosefinch at Grutness this morning. A good find for our team by Geoff Goater. #birds #ukbirding #shetlandbirds
A smart looking Bluethroat to end the day on Shetland. Also seen today Blue-winged Teal, Wryneck and Rustic Bunting. #shetlandbirds
Only flight views of the Brown Shrike on Yell today but a Barred Warbler showed a bit better. #birds #ukbirding #shetlandbirds

Well, I thought today was going to be a rest day until I got the message saying there was a breeding plumaged Grey Phalarope at Hillwell. On arrival, the finder Phil Harris was telling folk where the bird was, a brilliant bird to find. 👏
