5th July 2023 Unst SW2 Overcast

A quick roadside stop at some pines at Baltasound to look for Crossbills on my way home from working on mainland produced a pair of Lesser Whitethroats. I saw one of the pair carrying food.

Mike kindly tells me that a pair bred in Baltasound in 2004 and another pair summered in 2010 so today's represents only the second breeding record for Unst!
