Description
There are only 20-30 breeding males in UK. Most of the breeding pairs in UK can be found in summer, on the remote island of Fetlar in the Shetland islands off the North East coast of Scotland. They come to the small Lock of Funzie, where this photograph was taken, to breed in Summer and are surprisingly tame. They are very willing to show themselves and come close to visitors either at the water's edge or on the grass that edges the loch. The duller coloured male looks after the eggs and young after laying. As a rare UK breeding species it is a Red List bird.

UK SCOTLAND Jarlshof -- 23 Aug 2011 -- One of the best examples of an Iron Age house built upon a Bronze Age one at the Jarlshof site near Sumburgh Head in the Shetland Islands of Scotland. This is part of what appears to be a larger, more complex building which was likely used as a sort of pub of it's day -- Picture by Jonathan Mitchell *NB These images are attached to a story on the Iron Age part of the site

UK SCOTLAND Jarlshof -- 23 Aug 2011 -- One of the best examples of an Stone Age (Neolithic) house (foreground) at the Jarlshof site near Sumburgh Head in the Shetland Islands of Scotland. This is thought to be the oldest house in the British Isles and is part of a complicated site which is thought to cover a period of sporadic habitation from 2500 BC to the 16th Century (the Laird's House visible as a ruin on the top right of this picture). The site also has Bronze and Iron Age buildings and also Pictish and Viking structures. The Bronze and Iron Age structures (visible in the upper left of this image) appear to be a larger, more complex building which was likely used as a sort of pub of it's day -- Picture by Jonathan Mitchell
