An early morning surprise came in the form of a Dark-bellied Brent Goose that flew past me at Skaw and then again at Norwick. Otherwise, in just an early morning circuit of the two sites, all I saw was the Whinchat and 2 Blackcaps at Skaw and a Redwing and 4 Blackcaps at Valyie.
I saw more birders than birds on my early morning circuit!
