3rd January 2023 Unst S3 Clear

After a very enjoyable Christmas in Sussex, a rather low-key start to the new year. This morning we completed the SOTEAG beached bird survey for both Norwick and Burrafirth. With some snow still laying on the hillsides and plenty of ice still on Loch of Cliff, generally there seemed very few birds around.  

Burrafirth: Goldeneye & adult Glaucous Gull.

Haroldswick: 2cy Glaucous Gull & Redwing.

Norwick: Great Northern Diver, Red-throated Diver, Meadow Pipit & 2 Twite.
