A first-winter
Iceland Gull was in Linklet Bay in the morning, and a second bird was seen in the afternoon. There was not a lot else to report: 2
Swallows were near the lighthouse, a
Woodpigeon was near Bridesness and a
Lapland Bunting was at the north of the island. The day's
Wheatear count reached 39 birds, and a
Chiffchaff, a
Goldcrest, a
Robin, a
Rook and a
Siskin all remained.
Today's Lapland Bunting was a particularly smart specimen.
A small number of
Redwings have been present for most of the winter, but we are now seeing a few more of these, and other thrushes, passing through on migration.
Numbers of
Swallows should increase over the coming days.
You can probably guess who has just got a new camera for his birthday!
