7th May 2024 Unst NW4 Rain clearing

A late start after the rain had cleared saw me heading to Skaw where I found a Short-toed Lark on the track out to the headland albeit it proved wary and flighty. 

Skaw: Short-toed Lark, Whinchat, Blackcap, Chiffchaff, 2 Spotted Flycatcher & Brambling.

Norwick: 3 Great Northern Diver, 2 Long-tailed Duck, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Common Redstart, Blackcap, 2 Chiffchaff, Willow Warbler, Spotted Flycatcher, Carrion Crow, Siskin & Brambling.
