3rd January 2019 Unst SW3 Overcast

A return to mild temperatures with a Water Rail investigating our 'pond' being the first we've seen in our garden. Completing the festive beached bird surveys didn't produce any surprises but in the process of driving to and from Burrafirth we saw 5 Chaffinches at Norwick, 10 at Haroldswick and 2 at NorthDale where there was also a flock of 10 Icelandic Redwings.
