1 of 12 waxwings ringed in our garden today. At least 15 descended into our Lerwick garden to feast on apples. What a treat! #scarcebird @RareBirdAlertUK ⁩ ⁦ @BirdGuides ⁩ ⁦ @_BTO ⁩ ⁦ @BTO_GBW ⁩ ⁦ @PromoteShetland

No communication all day with phones & internet down but at least I caught up with this gorgeous Black-bellied Dipper just before dark along Wirvie burn, exactly where I had my last one in 2005! A nice late autumn find by @AlexPenn_1 of @FI_Obs
