RB Shrike and Pallid Harrier
3rd Oct 2015
Back to Unst where we had some great views of a Red-backed Shrike at Burrafirth, On Yell whilst looking for an American Golden Plover we struck lucky with the Pallid Harrier we had previously dipped on Unst.

Arctic Tick
1st Oct 2015
Bluethroat was still present at the stream close to our house at Tumblin.
Pool of Virkie; Black-tailed Godwit, Bar-tailed Godwit, Knot, Sanderling, Grey Plover, Dunlin, Ringed Plover, Ruff, Curlew, Redshank, Turnstone, Goldeneye, Swallow, Bonxie, 40 Pinkfoot over.
Scatness; 10 Whooper Swan.
Quendale Mill; 2 Chiffchaff at the Quary, Yellow-browed Warbler and Reed Wabler in the Iris beds and a Grey Wagtail on the stream.
Another try for the Arctic Warbler at Cott, Weisdale Voe; 5 Chaffinch and a Brambling on route. After a two hour wait the Arctic Warbler finally gave itself up, showing quite well in the sycamore we had decided to stake out.

Another Barred Warbler
30th Sept 2015
A Barred Warbler, Merlin, c50 Twite, a singing Chiffchaff and 6 Yellow-browed Warbler at Dale of Walls was a decent start to the day. 45 minutes at Hestingott; a Blyths Reed Warbler didn't show but a single Yellow-browed Warbler did. At Loch of Spiggie; 5 Whooper Swan, a handful of Bonxies and another Merlin.
Durrigarth; 2 Yellow-browed Warbler and a Bluethroat showed very briefly.
An Arctic Warbler was reported at Cott, Weisdale but we couldn't connect in the 2 hours spent there. 2 Slavonian Grebe were on Weisdale Voe. Then at the other end of Weisdale Voe a Little Gull.
