17th August 2021 Unst S2 Overcast

Nice conditions to be looking for passerine migrants but it proved tough going. Whilst walking around Skaw a flock of 4 Swallows overflew heading south. Norwick produced a flock of 9 Swallows, the Robin, a Willow Warbler and a Chiffchaff. At Burrafirth a Kestrel was my only reward and NorthDale added a Willow Warbler and the Mealy Redpoll was being accompanied by a juvenile.
