With something of a south-easterly airflow we checked a few sites that produced a male Stonechat at Skaw and a Woodpigeon & 5 Chaffinches at Norwick.
Harry Britton has kindly forwarded the ringing details of the colour-ringed Twite seen at Valyie on the 15th March. It was ringed on Bressay on the 9th December 2024.
A day spent gardening but the first Sparrowhawk I've seen on Unst this year and the first 2 Chaffinches we've seen in our garden this year hinted at a few new arrivals.
