At one week into this summer job in Shetland, I am yet to see the full splendour of the place, as it has largely been foggy, to the point of not being able to see your hand in front of your face! Without really trying, I've still had good numbers of Whimbrel, Skuas, RT Divers and all the other common stuff. Wader passage is starting up again, with great breeding plumage Knots and Turnstones, but star of the show (so far!) goes of course, to the White-rumped sandpiper at the pool of Virkie, on Saturday.
