23rd October 2018 Unst NW5 Overcast clearing

A 3 hour seawatch from Lamba Ness produced a Storm Petrel flying north at 10.20am, a Bonxie, 30 Guillemots and a single blue Fulmar among the several thousand Fulmars that flew north this morning. A party of 7 Snow Buntings were on the headland, several Redwings were seen at Skaw and a Whinchat was present at Braeview. An afternoon walk to Valyie added a Long-eared Owl and a single Chiffchaff.
