28th February 2026 Unst & Yell SW3 Clear

My commute across Unst produced more views of the White-billed Diver at Baltasound, the Glaucous Gull at Dam Loch and the 2 Tundra Bean Geese at Wester Loch. Work took me to Yell where I heard Skylarks singing for the first time this year and a Slavonian Grebe in Southladie Voe proved a welcome surprise.

Baltasound: White-billed Diver.

Uyeasound: 2 Tundra Bean Geese & Glaucous Gull.

Breckon: European White-fronted Goose.

Gloup: Pink-footed Goose.
