After a quick look at Skaw and Norwick, I headed to Yell surveying. On my return home, as I was passing Mid Yell pier at sunset, I thought I'd check to see if any Gulls were roosting on the voe... but there was just a single Herring Gull present! However, an unexpected reward came in the form of a Little Auk swimming just off the pier. It soon got short shrift from a Guillemot, so started swimming surprisingly quickly, off towards the fish factory.
Skaw: Siberian Chiffchaff, Blackbird & Redwing.
Norwick: Water Rail, 8 Common Snipe, Robin, 5 Blackbird, 12 Redwing, Song Thrush, Hawfinch, female Northern Bullfinch, Brambling & Greenland Redpoll.
