Bright and sunny first
thing with light southerly winds which gradually increased through the day;
there were a few birds at Holland first thing including a Willow Warbler, 2
Chiffchaffs, a Lesser Whitethroat, a Blackcap, 4+ Dunnocks, 3 Goldcrests, a
Chaffinch and 3 Siskins. I then walked
the Bridesness census route with the highlights being a trio of year ticks for
me with an incredibly early Little Tern seen briefly in Nouster
(previous earliest date was 5th May!), a dark phase Arctic Skua
which flew across the mouth of Nouster and 2 Whimbrel
which flew over Stennabreck.
Other birds included 2 Swallows, 39 Fieldfares, 3
Dunnocks, 3 Wheatears, a group of 5 Carrion Crows and a hybrid at Kirbest and a
Brambling while a single Ring Ouzel and another Lesser Whitethroat were around
the Obs.
