21st March 2026 Unst & Yell SW3 Overcast

Having not seen the Bonaparte's Gull since the 4th March it was something of a surprise that it was the closest Gull present in the northwest corner of Easter Loch today on stopping enroute to the ferry. Work on Yell produced nice views of a Peregrine. On my return to Unst a Pied/White Wagtail was seen in flight along the shore at Uyeasound. On arriving home, Brenda had photographed a Tree Sparrow on our feeders and a check of the flock of Sparrows revealed there were two present.
