Misty again first thing
with a light easterly wind but it soon cleared to leave a very pleasant day;
mist-netted some Tysties early morning at Gretchen with the oldest one being
from 2008 but the five Arctic Skuas patrolling the coast didn’t help! I then walked bits of the middle census
route where the few birds included 2 Shovelers on Ancum, a Common Redpoll at
Sandar and a few waders at Westness with 120+ Dunlin (just three juveniles), 2
Knot and 25 Turnstone.
Finished off a few Tystie chicks up the west coast in
the afternoon where there were 5 Purple Sandpiper and a Fulmar originally
ringed in 1986!

Pout (?)
Coalfish
Butterfish
These are a selection of fish dropped by the Tysties during the mist netting
