A walk around Norwick produced a female Hawfinch that was seen flying from Leawart to Frogadaal before then appearing twice very briefly at Valyie from where it flew off towards Braeview. Otherwise just the 2 Chiffchaffs and a Goldcrest were seen. Late in the afternoon we saw a smart male Black Redstart at the brewery and the drake Pintail, a male Wheatear and a Snow Bunting on Haroldswick beach.
