4th September 2021 Unst SE2 Overcast

A 75 minute sea-watch from 6.45am produced 5 Risso's Dolphins, 8 Sooty Shearwaters, a Teal, 2 Kittiwakes and a juvenile Arctic Tern before the drizzle commenced. Skaw failed to produce a migrant but Norwick held a Willow Warbler, a Pied Flycatcher and 2 Common Rosefinches. A return to Lamba Ness from 1pm to 3pm added 3 Risso's Dolphins, 7+ White-beaked Dolphins but just 2 Sooty Shearwaters and a Puffin. A visit to Burrafirth produced 2 Willow Warblers.
