22nd June 2021 Unst W2 Partly overcast

The albino Great Northern Diver was still off Norwick and a quick visit to Skaw produced a Swallow. I commenced my survey work for the day and saw a Swallow along the cliffs of Lamba Ness. Whilst then walking past the rapidly drying pools at The Garths I flushed a small pale Lark that I quickly followed-up and was pleased to find was a Short-toed Lark - only the second that I've found on Unst and the first was whilst driving to work for the same Ecological Consultancy - a fringe benefit of working?!
