Brydon talked four of us into a day's rarity finding on Unst and Fetlar searching as many sites as we could from Skaw to Funzie along with his parent's kind hospitality treating us to a meal. We started well with finding a Dotterel and Unst's second-ever Little Ringed Plover at Lamba Ness. Other highlights included 2 Shorelarks at Lamba Ness, a Shorelark and the Short-toed Lark at Haroldswick, 2 male Grey-headed Wagtails at Norwick, a male Bluethroat at Funzie willows and a host of yearticks including Knot. Common Sandpiper, Common Tern, Cuckoo, Swift, Garden Warbler, Sedge Warbler, Spotted Flycatcher, Tree Sparrow and Goldfinch.
