Unst

 We went back to Unst today, with our friend Penny, to try and refind the Blackpoll Warbler. We didn't!. We did find 2 swallows, lots of snipe and wheatears, and a distant otter.





Then we went North to Norwick to check out the beautiful Valyie Garden. We had several Yellow browed warblers, 3 blackcaps and some beautiful ferns growing on the walls of a derelict croft.




After that , we did a quick divert to Baltasound  for a very non showy bluethroat.



Last quick check at Haroldswick but still no sign of the Blackpoll warbler so then home, with a lovely stop at Cullivoe.

Super views of the reported Red breasted flycatcher. Then we were delighted to spot a 2nd one. 

















Cullivoe is always good for seals too. Good end to a super day. Thanks for your company Penny!

Something different

 Today was Jills PA day so after dropping our guest into town for the last bit of his stay, it was off to Mossbank. It's not so easy now...
