18th August 2023 Unst NE2 Overcast clearing

The easterly airflow delivered a scatter of migrants with finding my first Barred Warbler of the year being the pick of the bunch albeit there was no competing with the magic isle!

Skaw: 7 Sanderling, 5 Knot, 3 Wheatear, Lesser Whitethroat & Willow Warbler.

Norwick: Merlin, 4 Sanderling, 3 Pied Wagtail, 6 Wheatear, Barred Warbler & 3 Willow Warbler.

Burrafirth: 2 Wheatear & 2 Willow Warbler.

NorthDale: 2 Willow Warbler.
