The 1st W male Siberian Thrush among the autumn leaves today, near Loch of Asta, mainland Shetland. #shetland #rarebirds #om1 #omsystem #itsinournature
The smallest tropical drift seed yesterday on a south mainland Shetland beach! One Iโve dreamt of finding for a while, another 1st for Shetland! An Ipomoea sp, maybe moonflower, which grow on the shores of the Caribbean and Central America. #beachcomber #seabean #driftseed #Shetland #tropicalseeds
Yes great to see, tail tips are pointed and juvenile too :)

Aurora over Voe, Shetland late last night. #shetland #aurora #mirriedancers #nightsky #auroraborealis #omsystemcameras
Aurora corona, the rarest shape occurring during strong aurora activity and often accompanied by heightened visible colour. This one was directly over our heads as we approached Reykjavik in January 2025 and was literally shocking pink to the naked eye. #iceland #aurora #auroraborealis #auroracorona
Eshaness Lighthouse and Aurora last week. #Shetland #aurora #aurorahunter #mirriedancers #eshaness #nightsky #nightskyphotography
Photographing the aurora at Eshaness - Shetland last week. Curtains of very bright green, although brief, were pretty spectacular. Iโm completely addicted to photographing this magical northern spectacle โฆ. #Shetland #mirriedancers #aurora #eshaness #nightskies #omsystem

The American Bufflehead on a tiny loch on Foula in late January. A beautiful still winters day to island twitch & then a challenge to photograph a very flighty bird which had become very mobile with teal, wigeon & mallard. #Shetland #rarebirds #bufflehead #foula #britishtick #rarebird #duckmagic
