A thin scatter of migrants including a Common Rosefinch felt promising. Whilst it feels like I've known Tom Gale for years, I finally met him for the first time only last week. Whilst on Unst, Tom's been extremely busy completing the fieldwork for his PhD, so today was the first chance to spend some time birding together... and what better way to start... on walking together less than 300m into Valyie, Tom picked out and identified a Greenish Warbler! I returned late afternoon to spend some more time watching it during which time it was nice to hear it call - if just the once!
