Ruby Porn

Finally went up to Gulberwick for the male Siberian Rubythroat, I would have gone straight away yesterday when news broke, but being has it was lashing down with hail and snow showers, I waited until today.
What a porn star of a bird ! especially with the sun shining on it as it fed around the track to the house, add to this close views of Pechora Pipit and a fly by Hen Harrier - a pretty good day.
This is now the third Rubythroat I've seen on Shetland, with birds on Fair Isle in 2003 and 2005. Plus a good few in India.
