Pied-billed Grebe

A very confiding Pied-billed Grebe at Hollingworth Lakes CP, Greater Manchester. On one occasion it was was only about 12 ft from the small hide; too close for focusing!

SHETLAND-----A TOP BIRDING EXPERIENCE

The following images illustrate a superb birding week in the Shetland Islands. A total of 88 species were seen which included 20 additions to my year list and 5 to my British Life list.
The weather was not typical for the time of year with clear blue skies for the the first 3 days followed by one day of total rain then one night of force 8 to 9 gales!.Since the whole week was served with South easterlies of varying strengths the suppply of migrants was most welcomed.

Hornemann's Arctic Redpoll


Undoubtedly the star bird of the week. Seen at Northdale, Unst

Shetland-Arctic Warbler


Good view were had of this Arctic Warbler in the grounds of the Lighthouse at Sumburgh. It's ironic that the week before this Shetland trip I spent two days at Holme only to get very brief glimpses of the long staying  Norfolk Arctic .
