Awoke to a male Blackcap being present in the roses in the garden. Skaw proved quiet but Lamba Ness was more productive with a female Snow Bunting being seen at the sheep pens, a party of 3 Siskins flying north and a Whimbrel and a Shore Lark being present at the tip that Robbie had found a couple of days earlier - nice to hear its piping call every time it flew. Valyie played host to 6 Siskins and a Tree Pipit and there was a White Wagtail on Norwick beach. Again saw the drake Surf Scoter with a few Eider off Belmont but it was unfortunately no closer.

Often tame and approachable that didn't apply to this individual that promptly flew off!
