10th March 2019 Unst SW1 Clear

A beautiful Spring day with some proper warmth in the sunshine today. Skaw proved very quiet and we fared little better whilst walking to Valyie and back with just a single Song Thrush being of note. At Haroldswick we saw another Song Thrush and on the beach we saw our first Pied Wagtail of the year that Robbie had already seen this morning. The beach also provided our first double-figure count of Rock Pipits of the year that also included our first Scandinavian Rock Pipit, or at least, the first that's acquired enough summer plumage for it to be identifiable as such.
