The blazing strong
easterlies continued but the few nets we were able to open produced single Tree
Pipit, Garden Warbler and Pied Flycatcher; the rest of the morning was pretty
quiet with a few Yellow Wagtails and Tree Pipits around, several Kestrels and
Sparrowhawks heading south, 450 Greylag Geese, a Red-throated Diver and a few
waders.
It was also a bit quieter around the area as well
with 10+ Tree Pipits, 3 Redstarts, 6 Spotted Flycatchers, 4 Pied Flycatchers,
16 Whinchats, the Goshawk again and at least 5 Peregrines including a big young
female chasing a redshank across Verevågen.
Two Rooks were new in Vågsvollvika late afternoon with 80+ Hooded Crows
and 2 Carrion Crows.
A quiet day really with nothing posing for my camera so here's a few birds from my time on Fair Isle - any of which I would love to catch again here this autumn!

River Warbler, 2007
Lesser Grey Shrike, 2007
