After a frosty dawn with some black ice it soon became a beautiful clear sunny day feeling almost Spring-like with Starlings singing. A walk along Norwick beach produced a juvenile and a second-winter Glaucous Gull among the masses of Gulls feeding on what appeared to be thousands of small maggots along the tideline. We then drove south stopping to scan the flock of Gulls feeding in a similar manner at Haroldswick. Next stop was Lund where we walked out to The Nev scanning the wick and enjoying the views of west Unst. We then toured the Uyeasound sites with Goldeneye displaying in the sunshine now back on Easter Loch that is again clear of ice.
