1st winter Long-tailed Duck a highlight on Out Skerries yesterday. Difficult conditions in strong winds and a lack of migrants. Knot, Whooper Swans, Merlin and Pinkfeet other highlights. #Shetlands #UKbirding

Better make up for my last cheeky #BirdOfTheDay post with some proper #Black&Red ,quite a #LongBeak too 😊
