23rd July 2021 Unst N1 Overcast

I seawatched from Lamba Ness for 90 minutes from 7.00am again being joined by Kristofer. We saw a Sooty Shearwater, 7 Manx Shearwaters (6N & 1S) and a pod of c.14 Risso's Dolphins. Mike P then treated us to a masterclass in moth identification with a nice selection of resident species trapped in our garden overnight. A walk around Norwick produced the Bonaparte's Gull, a colour-flagged Sanderling, a Robin, a Common Whitethroat, a Chiffchaff and 2 Mealy Redpolls.
