Western Osprey & Oyster Catcher

            Western Osprey JJ6, known now as 'Doddie' following being named after Doddie Weir by 10,000 BBC Breakfast viewers.
He fledged from Loch Arkaig and was ringed on 2nd July 2020 so this is probably his first return visit to the UK since then. (Apparently they don't usually return the summer following fledging).
He is seen here being harassed by and Oyster Catcher. whilst flying between Loch of Voe and Sae Water on Shetland. I saw him a few times and was nearly always getting it in the neck from something, even being dive bombed by terns, but he always held his ground and just gently ducked each time one dived towards him, not giving up his post. These are actually fairly scarce visitors to Shetland but there were 2 or 3 present in the last couple of weeks it seems.
