25th June 2022 Yell SSE4 Fog

Brydon found a male Moltoni's Warbler at Gutcher yesterday. I resisted leaving early from work on mainland and then paid the penalty of rain and fog rolling in by the time I was passing through Gutcher on my way home. I caught the earliest ferry from Unst and spent a while enjoying hearing it singing, calling and showing on and off. I was joined by Kevin Kelly before I left for the ferry to mainland but persistent thick fog meant an early return home! A walk around Norwick produced a Kestrel and a Swallow was feeding around our house late afternoon.
