After a quick look around Skaw and Norwick, I had an appointment to attend in Lerwick that gave us a convenient opportunity to see the 1cy American Black Tern at Tingwall Loch. Despite the poor weather, it performed admirably albeit rather distantly for most of the time that we were present. The first that I've seen in the UK since seeing the 'first for Britain' at Weston-Super-Mare in October 1999.
Skaw: Wheatear.
Norwick: 6 juvenile Sanderling, Chiffchaff, Willow Warbler, Yellow-browed Warbler, Tree Sparrow & 3 Common Rosefinch.
Tingwall Loch: 1cy American Black Tern.
