27th January 2019 Unst NE4 Wintry showers

A cold brisk northeasterly had me heading for Lamba Ness, but in an hour, all that I saw among a small number of Gannets and Fulmars was a blue Fulmar, 15 Kittiwakes, a Black Guillemot and 10 Common Guillemots all flying north. Our Water Rail was a little braver today, venturing further out from cover and onto the lawn, where it was seen to pull out an earthworm.
