25th August 2021 Unst N5 Overcast

The Common Rosefinch was still present in our garden first thing but soon disappeared. A seawatch from Lamba Ness from 7.15am to 8.15am produced 6 Sooty Shearwaters flying north but just a single Puffin marking the changing of the season! A walk around Norwick added 9 Swallows, a Chiffchaff, 5 Willow Warblers, a Pied Flycatcher, presumably the Common Rosefinch from our garden and a juvenile Mealy Redpoll. The Bonaparte's Gull was again absent for most of the day but arrived to feed over the low tide from 5.30pm.
