A beautiful sunny calm day and it was good to see Graham and Mary Bundy out birding the north end of the island but the best that our combined efforts could produce was a few displaying Curlew, an increase in numbers of Oystercatchers present with a couple of flocks numbering 20 birds, 2 adult Lesser Black-backed Gulls, a Scandinavian Rock Pipit at Norwick, several flocks of Skylarks and a flock of 6 Snow Buntings that were seen flying north over Skaw early in the morning.

I was counting on Graham finding one closer to home today...
