What cloud there was soon cleared into a nice warm day being virtually calm too. A few new arrivals first thing included a Sedge Warbler, a small flock of Tree Sparrows, my first Hawfinch of the year (not before time as it's seemed a good Spring for them across Shetland) and a Siskin. Thereafter it proved more a case of seeing a similar selection of migrants as those seen in recent days although those included my first Lesser Whitethroat of the year.
