26th January 2019 Unst NNW2 Overcast

With the wind at dawn being much lighter than forecast I wasn't expecting to see much from Lamba Ness so 2 blue Fulmars flying north in an hour were almost a surprise. The monthly beached bird surveys had us head for Norwick, Burrafirth and Easting where a Skylark at the latter is only the second I've seen this year. The flock of Snow Buntings at Upper Sotland numbered 15 today. A visit to Underhoull late in the afternoon produced a juvenile Iceland Gull.
