It has been a good few days out on the reserve with the Great Skuas of the week days lingering throughout and at times giving superb views...
.
Russ Sherriff has got shots here of Bonxie that I would not expect to get unless you were in the Shetlands at a breeding colony! Awesome...
But it was not all about these big predatory brutes...
Mark Vale got a shot of the first Short-eared Owl of the season as it got seen off behind the Butts Hide and Stonechats and Bearded Tits have been showing exceptionally well.
Shortie (Mark Vale)
Stonechat (Russ Sherriff)
With the tail end of that Hurricane due through tomorrow night, who knows what we shall be looking at before the end of the week....
