4th June 2021 Unst N3 Mist clearing

A sprinkling of common migrants were still present at both Skaw and Norwick but an adult White-tailed Eagle flying north over our garden and then Lamba Ness stole the show. It was warm and sunny surprisingly early this morning and activity soon quietened but a roadside female Red-backed Shrike was a nice surprise.
