20th May 2026 Unst SE5 Rain clearing

It was back to work today, where I chanced upon a smart male Bluethroat. It was then a surprise that both Skaw and Norwick proved rather quiet.

Skaw: 2 Swallow, 2 Pied Wagtail, Black Redstart, Song Thrush, Lesser Whitethroat, 3 Willow Warbler, Chiffchaff & Snow Bunting.

Norwick: Marsh Harrier, 3 Sparrowhawk, Blackcap, Chiffchaff, Brambling & 4 Tree Sparrow.
