Awoke to a strong southwesterly gale so was lacking in enthusiasm until seeing a Pied Flycatcher and a Willow Warbler sharing the shelter of the rose bush in the front garden. Tried Skaw but only saw the moulting adult Chiffchaff that's been present for a while there. Norwick also proved very quiet with just a Garden Warbler glimpsed in the difficult windy conditions. It suddenly fell calm this evening but a walk out on Clibberswick proved unproductive.

As dusk fell this flock of Curlew gained height and headed off south
