8th October 2018 Unst SW4 Overcast

The arrival of flocks of Great Black-backed and Herring Gulls continued in off the sea at Norwick where a look at Valyie produced a Yellow-browed Warbler, 5 Brambling, a Chaffinch and I heard a Redpoll fly south. NorthDale played host to a Pink-footed Goose and Haroldswick added a Yellow-browed Warbler present in the pool roses and a Grey Wagtail in the field with the cattle. We then headed south to Uyeasound where 3 Goldeneye, a Tree Sparrow and a Common Rosefinch proved the highlights.
