Shetland Day 8

I had passed Clickimin Loch every day but had not checked it until today. 2 Whooper Swan, 25 Wigeon and a few Tufted & Mallard were present.

Channerwick provided my first Redwings of the Autumn plus a male Blackcap. Quendale Mill had a nice view of a Merlin as well as Goldcrests, 3 Swallows and Raven.

In between showers I caught up with the Red Backed Shrike at Grutness and 2 Long Tailed Duck on the Pool of Virkie.

Overall it had been a good trip, bird wise the 1st 3 days were definitely best but once the wind turned into the North it became a bit of a slog. Nonetheless Shetland provides plenty of potential to find your own birds & maybe next time PG Tips & Lancy.
