Unst and Unst!!

Yes it was two days travelling to the isle of Unst for Hornemans Arctic Redpoll, and a day later for Lancelated Warbler.

Snowball

Our first trip to Unst was spent searching for the Redpoll and five and half hours later we find the bird in its favorite garden below the cemetry and showed well to all that hung around long enough.

we also saw Little Bunting at norwick, 2 cracking Yellow Browed Warblers as well as Redstart, Arctic Tern and many Brambling on the move.

Our second day saw us at Skaw to see the Lancy that showed very well to the travelling crowd, and again saw the Hornemanns again this time without the wait! another Little Bunt showed and added Little gull to the trip list.
