Fair Isle

Spent much of last week on Fair Isle and most of this week going through the photographs!

We saw some great birds - Icterine Warbler, Red-backed Shrike, Wryneck, Reed Warbler and Lesser Whitethroat just to name a few.

Sadly, however, I am having trouble uploading photographs to the Blog so may be forced to 'mothball' the site and create a Glasgow's Wilds Better facebook site.

In the meantime I've been preparing a number of talks for the Fife Bird Club; RSPB Forth Valley; RSPB Glasgow and RSPB Dorset which all take place over the next few weeks.

Finally a quick update of recent sightings for Greater Glasgow from the SOC Clyde Grapevine:
