24th August 2021 Unst WSW3 Drizzle

A foggy drive to Skaw where the drizzle held off whilst I did a quick circuit of the beach and burn seeing a single Willow Warbler for my efforts. A quick look at Norwick added a Kestrel and 4 Willow Warblers. The wind increased, the drizzle worsened and Brenda commented that Gale Force fog had set in! Brydon had the Bonaparte's Gull fly past his house and then settle with Common Gulls loafing near the Baltasound Hall but it was back feeding in the surf off Norwick beach by 4.30pm and at 7.30pm a Common Rosefinch appeared in our garden.
