6th May 2026 Unst W3 Showers

Another quiet day with the unfavourable winds and temperatures continuing. Robbie saved the day finding a redhead Smew on Belmont Loch - the first that we've seen on Unst.

Skaw: Arctic Skua, 2 Pied Wagtail & Redpoll.

Haroldswick: Black-tailed Godwit & Swallow.

Belmont: Smew.

Black-tailed Godwit at Haroldswick
the worn coverts and tertials point to it possibly being a 2cy individual
