Shagged Out.

Having spent three weeks in Alaska last year, and being blown away by the Pacific Sea-birds around the Kenai Fjords and the Pribilof Islands, this year I've decided to put a bit of effort into their Atlantic counterparts. So most of today was spent on the cliffs at the end of Scatness, getting up close to the Shags etc (a bit dodgy, leaning over cliffs in a 20mph wind !).
Other birds included - 2 Chiffchaffs and a Fieldfare in the Garden, and a Ruddy Shelduck at Spiggie.
