Just back from a brilliant weekend in Shetland for the Scalloway fire festival, where I was lucky enough to see Britain’s 10th American Coot at Loch Spiggie. This rarity has been around for a few months, and I was thrilled it stuck around for my visit, securing my first new bird of the year.
Although it stayed distant, I managed a few record shots in the winter sunshine. A fantastic start to 2025!
