17th September 2023 Unst SSE2 broken cloud

Given the wind direction it proved quieter than hoped albeit I saw a couple each of new Barred Warbler and Yellow-browed Warbler.

Skaw: Common Snipe, Wheatear, Lesser Whitethroat & Willow Warbler.

Norwick: Knot, 2 Sanderling, Pied Wagtail, Wheatear, 3 Barred Warbler, 4 Blackcap, 3 Yellow-browed Warbler & Hawfinch

Haroldswick: Redstart, Lesser Whitethroat, Willow Warbler & Yellow-browed Warbler.

Watlee: Peregrine.


Hawfinch at Norwick
the scaled flanks presumably age it as a 1cy and the head colour sex it as a male

Blackcap at Norwick
