Peerie Whup
I think the Shetland name for this is a Peerie Whup (spelling?). I don't know what the right name is. There were a few of them following me near the Gloup in Deerness this morning. They made a cheeping sound similar to a Shaalder. When the flew they glided mostly with occasional single wing beats synchronised with a cheep. Some of them landed with a curious fold of their wings, stretching them vertically showing the white understand before folding them away.
