I was delighted to be asked to photograph a truly memorable Shetland wedding on Saturday for lovely couple Irene Manson & Allan Garrick - now Mr & Mrs! at Lerwick Town Hall followed by photograph sessions in Lerwick Flower Park before continuing on to the Scalloway Boat Club for further photographs & evening celebrations. The weather wasn't kind over the weekend but the low cloud and foggy conditions (thankfully without the drizzle!) made for some very attractive diffused natural light photography and really highlighted the gorgeous champagne dress that Irene looked so stunning in. It was a very happy day from start to finish and wonderful to meet so many family members and share their special day. I look forward to showing Irene & Allan their wedding photographs on their return from Amsterdam!<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This Siberian Rubythroat shot I took this Autumn literally went viral on the internet after putting it on Rare Bird Alert - it has graced many a mobile phone and laptop screen saver since (heres Dan Pointon's mobile phone!) . . . .and was, according to RBA one of the most if not the most memorable image of a rare bird taken in the UK this year!<br />
<br />
My first year on Shetland has had so many photographic and memorable birding moments. From the encounters with the Spiggie Night Heron, King Eider & Eastern Subalpine Warbler in the Spring, to photographing Puffins, Northern Gannets, Fulmar and ringing Stormies in the Summer, being on Fair Isle for the Bridled Tern and Phil finding a Laughing Gull in June. Leading Shetland Nature trips and private bird/photo tours, flying the Islands with friends Adam and Daniella. Getting fully immersed in Shetlands smaller inhabitants - the stunning and under-recorded hoverflies & other Diptera, the Wryneck on Unst, the Pied Wheatear, 3 x Red-flanked Bluetails including Phil and I finding one each! The great fun out with the Arctic Warbler finding team. Being part of the exciting Eastern Bonelli's ID, the Lanceolated Warbler on FI, the Red-throated Pipit and OBP's to the creme de la creme of far-eastern gems - the Rubythroat - it's been quite a year!! What will 2015 bring - I can't wait to find out!</td></tr>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Hi Everyone. Today started disappointingly foggy with drizzle and light winds. Phil & I went to Unst for the day & whilst there the conditions brightened considerably and birding produced a few fresh Spring migrants and a couple of dog Otte<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">rs. We saw the distant spec of a smart male King Eider (has been present for much of the Winter) amongst a flock of maybe 200 Common Eider at Uyea Sound. As we watched the flock started moving at some rate towards us so we stayed put and watched as part of the flock broke up and kept bee-lining towards us - with the King Eider in tow! After maybe 10 minutes the flock reached the shore and unbelievably started to get out onto the beach in front of us! What a dream to see this King Eider so close . . .a fantastic experience. After only a few minutes the Eiders took to the water again and briskly made their way back out into the Sound.</span></span></span></div>

There are a few places still available on the Travelling Naturalist tour to Spitsbergen in July this year which I cannot recommend more highly! This trip is a once in a life time experience with unrivalled Arctic Wildlife sightings and they have picked a prime time to cruise around this incredibly beautiful archipelago. From Polar Bears striding across the ice (24-30 on my trips!), to hauled out Walruses & millions of Little Auk & Brunnich's Guillemot on there breeding grounds, all in superb clear Arctic light, a photographers delight! Calm reflective Whale-filled waters, stunning glacial & iceberg backdrops all from the attractive spacious vessel - plus daily optional tundra walks for stretching the legs whilst exploring Arctic flora & pioneering history make this arguably one of the best wildlife cruise experiences in the world. . . . call the Travelling Naturalist now for more details . . . . <a href="http://www.naturalist.co.uk/tours/spitsbergen.php">http://www.naturalist.co.uk/tours/spitsbergen.php</a><br />

However, at the beginning of January I set up a new photographic exhibition of my work at the fabulous WWT Welney Reserve Wetland Centre which is now running until the end of February. Please do pop along to see my recent works and to enjoy the WWT main hide Winter Floodlit Swan Feeding Evenings - it's quite a spectacle! There is also a great little cafe with great fenland views!</span><br />

I've been slowly sorting out our lovely Lerwick house & been utilising days out with the camera in between a couple of impressive stormy house-shaking weather systems! After the last monster storm we found 2 white-wingers, Iceland Gulls in the harbour, this Juv and a 3rd Winter bird though we are optimistically always on the look out for that fabled Ivory Gull . . . .There should be one here with those mainland records of late! A Snowy Owl, Hawk Owl, Tengmalm's or Gyr would be a nice Winter treat too . . ..we'll have to keep scanning those hills & conifer plantations . . . . .I don't want much for Xmas do I! ;)</td></tr>

It's been over 10 years but the memories of seeing this bird in the ringing room at the Observatory early one May morning is still very fresh in my memory! Why not join us in 2014 to look for more mega's of this magnitude!!?? Please email me for bespoke Shetland Spring and Autumn birding, wildlife and photography trips or visit<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I had an excellent trip to Unst yesterday to catch up with a Two-barred Crossbill which incredibly was a British tick for me, having never gone for one and never been on Shetland when there have been influxes. The day was made extra special by news that the Baltimore Oriole had been relocated at Halligarth - so I just had to call in to see this sculking individual before heading to Skaw for the Crossbill. . . . no photos so I have added a smart Snow Bunting I took whilst looking for the Two-barred at Skaw.</td></tr>
