Still windy and cold but with less sun and more vicious
showers whipping through; walked around the middle of the island but the crofts
were predictably quiet producing only 5 Redwings and a Meadow Pipit while in
the flooded fields 30 Bar-tailed Godwits were the pick and at Westness 150+
Purple Sandpipers were on the shore and Common and Black-headed Gulls were
feeding in the surf.
The
afternoon was worse with more showers coming through but the Black-throated Diver was again in
Nouster along with a Great-northern Diver and 17 Long-tailed Ducks.
