A very different day,
completely overcast with very light and decreasing SW winds; I started with a
walk round the Obs which produced single Red-throated Diver and Great-northern
Diver and 2 Herons which headed out south.
An hour’s seawatch then just produced 4 Sooty Shearwaters and 16 Manx
Shearwaters before a long walk (in two goes) around the northern census route
was a bit frustrating (considering how much arrived on Fair Isle and Shetland
yesterday) as 2 Willow Warblers were pretty much the only migrant
Passerines. Other birds included a 3cy
Peregrine, 8 Knot, 2 Whimbrel, a few flocks of Snipe whizzing around, quite a
few Meadow Pipits and alba Wagtails
scattered around and a Heron on Bewan which caught an Eel.
