22nd January 2019 Unst W1 Rain

Another cold front arrived this morning and I failed to see a single Glaucous Gull all day! The rain persisted so we didn't spend long in the field with us just seeing a juvenile Iceland Gull at Norwick, 4 Common Scoter sat on the sea off Haroldswick and our first Meadow Pipit of the year on the road there.
