Veronica @puzzlewild.bsky.social · 20/06/2026It was amazing to see the Gannet colony at Hermaness thriving. Sitting on the cliff top watching these amazing birds with a wingspan of around 2 metres soaring past. #birdingscotland #shetland #hermaness 0152
Veronica @puzzlewild.bsky.social · 18/06/2026This Redshank taking the opportunity to snooze in the spring sunshine. Surprised to the Redshank has amber status. With the loss of wetland habitats, changing in climate (less rainfall), which means less insects - all contributing to a reduction in numbers. #redshank #birdingscotland #shetland 0140
Veronica @puzzlewild.bsky.social · 13/06/2026Definitely on my places I want to visit. Great shots. 110
Veronica @puzzlewild.bsky.social · 13/06/2026Just lovely!! I’ve still to see one well, only ever had a quick fly past. 110
Veronica @puzzlewild.bsky.social · 12/06/2026Back in January, I found the Mountain Hares hunkered down against the wind, wrapped in their white winter coats with @shetlandwildlife.bsky.social Returning in spring, a real was amazing to see the contrast in both the land and hares. A real joy to watch #UKWildlife #UKMammals #shetland #scotland 3386
Veronica @puzzlewild.bsky.social · 10/06/2026How many Puffins have I seen? - Not enough! How many photos of Puffins do I have - Not enough! @sumburghead Puffins did not disapoint. #Shetland #Sumburghead #Puffins #Shetlandwildlife #birdingscotand 1140

Veronica @puzzlewild.bsky.social · 17/04/2026It was Easter Sunday all seasons in one day! Including this snow storm! The red kites initially cautious soon homed in. It was unclear what or who was next for dinner…. #argatyredkites #redkites #birdingscotland 1170
Veronica @puzzlewild.bsky.social · 18/03/2026Mean and moody!! This male Tufty, in all his Spring finest. Sometimes it takes time to pause, to look a little closer at the familiar to see how stunning things are. I love these wee punk rockers diving ducks. #TuftyDuck #SpringTime 050
Veronica @puzzlewild.bsky.social · 02/03/2026Caught up with a small flock of Linnets, watched the in-house squabbles as they jostled for the best position on the wall. Spring is definitely in the air. #scottishbirds #linnets #birdingscotland 1151
Veronica @puzzlewild.bsky.social · 28/02/2026The Brent Goose. Breeds up in northern Russia, wintering in some places in the U.K. The light was gorgeous, seeing this goose caught in the evening sunlight. #brentgeese #rspbtitchwell 030
Veronica @puzzlewild.bsky.social · 26/02/2026A magical morning watching this murmuration of Golden Plover….a wonderful start to the morning. #rspbbuckenhammarshes #rspbimages #murmuration 030
Veronica @puzzlewild.bsky.social · 08/02/2026Ooos that should have said. I had never seen one ever before. Would be amazing to catch in the snow. 010
Veronica @puzzlewild.bsky.social · 07/02/2026A first view for me. A Scottish mountain hare. The U.K’s only native hare, it can reach a speed of over 30mph! I would love to have seen it in the snow, although Shetland did a very good impression of the real depth of winter. 🥶 #shetland #mountainhare #wildlifescotland 2101
Veronica @puzzlewild.bsky.social · 02/02/2026@shetlandwildlife nature & Up Helly Aa ❤️ Sept gave us a dry run of the biting winds. ‘feels like -12C’ a🥶I’ve never experienced. Waxwing, a passing vagrant. With little bushes/trees an apple in the garden must have felt like a gold mine. #birdingscotland #waxwing #scotland 0180

Veronica @puzzlewild.bsky.social · 17/01/2026Aww glad you hear you got out. Red and enjoy the editing tomorrow. 110
Veronica @puzzlewild.bsky.social · 17/01/2026Ha! It’s the only Bitten I’ve seen so far. Zero for the U.K. 010
Veronica @puzzlewild.bsky.social · 17/01/2026Super cropped and noisy image, yet stillI seen! Little Bittern seen in Extremadura last year . Unlike the local Bittern that I dipped (check me and the lingo 😆) yesterday. All part of the fun. Would love to hear that boom! Another time…. #littlebittern #Bittern #extremadura #twitching 1110
Veronica @puzzlewild.bsky.social · 08/01/2026A male Kingfisher. His breast was a bright orange glowing globe in the light. As a kid I imagined this bird with a crown fishing. I have never stopped being excited by that regal flash of blue. These last few years I have appreciated closer views. #birdingscotland #kingfisher #edinburghwildlife 2230
Veronica @puzzlewild.bsky.social · 07/01/2026We know how that one goes. Trying to get out as we can. It has helped keep us going. Hope you are recovering ok. 120
Veronica @puzzlewild.bsky.social · 07/01/2026Love the iridescent colours. The light was just perfect that day! 010
Veronica @puzzlewild.bsky.social · 07/01/2026We have 1 in the area and it ventured into the garden (a first) we are trying to plant and encourage more in. 010
Veronica @puzzlewild.bsky.social · 06/01/2026It was every bird for itself the other day for sure. We had incredible light so lucky! 110
