A similar day with the
cold, strong northerly bringing more nasty hail / rain showers throughout;
there were a few birds in the Brides census route including the first Glaucous Gull of the autumn past Stennabreck with plenty of Great
Black-backs and big, ugly, dark Herring Gulls, yet another Yellow Wagtail on the shore by Howar (the
Trolla bird was still present), single Blackcap, Chiffchaff and Wheatear also along
that sheltered bit of coast in Nouster, 5 Long-tailed Ducks, a Great-northern
Diver, 17 Snow Buntings, 9 Reed Buntings, single Song Thrush and Fieldfare and
a few Redwings.
A seawatch in the late afternoon was unremarkable apart
from a good, steady movement of 1,890 Fulmars in an hour along with a few Auks
and a single Bonxie.
