Still a very strong, very cold northerly wind but it was
ever so slightly lighter than yesterday and an hour’s seawatch first thing
produced the highlights of an adult White-billed Diver which
flew north close inshore and 2 Glaucous Gulls (adult and juvenile) which
flew along the shore with a trickle of Herrings and Great Black-backs. Also in the north were 7 Pintail, 2
Goldeneye, a Merlin which appeared to come in off the sea and 35 Snow Buntings
while there were still two adult Whooper Swans at Lenswick and 4 Herons at
Westness.
A
walk round the Obs census route produced the Black Redstart again by the pier, 6
Great-northern Divers offshore, 3 Robins, 7 Redwings, a Chaffinch, 2 Common
Redpolls and 4 more Snow Buntings.
The worst ever pictures of a White-billed Diver
