Avez-Vous un Cuppa?

As my annual holiday to Shetland starts on Saturday, here's a great link about Shetland!

Here is some video footage of a Common Sandpiper I saw last week from the plover hide at Watermead CP North. I used my IPHONE 5 and my adapter from OPTICRON to film the footage.  

Here is some IPhone digiscoping footage I took of a "probable" 1st winter Yellow-legged Gull at Watermead CP South yesterday evening.

Here is a few record shots of the Great Snipe at Spurn , East Yorkshire, I saw yesterday with Colin Green and Steve James. At times it showed down to five feet and quite clearly had never seen a human being before as it was reported to have walked over some birder's feet later in the afternoon!! Bonkers!!
