28th February 2019 Unst N1 Light cloud

Brydon phoned to say he'd found a flock of Redpolls in Baltasound that consisted of a Lesser, several Mealy Redpolls and a Coues's Arctic Redpoll. By the time I arrived the flock had split, and whilst we refound the Lesser and 10 Mealy Redpolls around c.500m away, frustratingly we couldn't refind the Coues's.
