18th August 2021 Unst NNE3 Overcast with drizzle

As I headed down Lamba Ness I inadvertently flushed 2 Ruff that flew off north. The sea-watch proved uninspiring but 2 Swallows were feeding around the cliffs. Skaw added a flock of 15 Swallows feeding around the haa but I failed to find any other migrants. A walk around Norwick added the albino Great Northern Diver, the 2cy Bonaparte's Gull, a Swift, 16 Swallows and 2 Chiffchaffs.

Having now replaced all of its primaries it's still regrowing the outermost two.
