The wind had dropped overnight somewhat and there was very little rain today. We took a drive round the island with the highlight being an arrival of grey Geese that included a flock of 9 Tundra Bean Geese that we saw in a roadside field whilst approaching Baltasound. It transpired that Brydon had already seen them.
