30th July 2021 Unst NNE3 Overcast

A 30 minute seawatch from Lamba Ness went unrewarded as did a visit to Skaw so I decided to continue painting the exterior of our house. Mike called-in to empty the moth trap and in among the usual suspects was a Dark Spinach - a new species for Mike, the first record for Unst and only the fifth for Shetland! Brydon, Casey and Corey visited later with the albino Great Northern Diver and Bonaparte's Gull both seen from our garden.
