The weather held during the day andit was quite warm on the Skerries. We both have stinking colds so some fresh sea air was good.
Our friend Matt had already found a Rosefinch we had several attempts before we finally got good views.
It was bouncing around with Meadow pipits.
Not much else but 5 swallows came in off the sea.
Hundreds of orchids. And a tiny flower yet to be identified.
Lunchtime, news broke of an eyebrowed thrush on Yell. Typical! A tick for Jill and Shetland tick for both. Jill's cold was getting bad so we had to see how things were when we got off the Skerries.
We decided to go but it didn't give much time to get to Toft for the Yell ferry.
It started to rain heavily.
Unfortunately, possibly due to the weather it only showed for a millisecond. But it did also call. No photos- but we did find 2 Crosshill.
