2 days of birding.

Yesterday after Robs appointment we headed South again. Checking Grutness, Quendale, Scatness, Virkie and we ended at Gulberwick to collect some roof tiles. It was amazing Turtle Dove, Icterine Warblers, Flycatchers etc.

























Today we went back to Unst as Rob wanted to refind the Green Warbler. We didn't, but we had a pair of Red throated divers on the way to the ferry and found a Red backed Shrike

We picked up a few extra bits and bobs on the way back. We even had time to stop at Muness.
