Shetland - Day 3

The wind direction was now South East and the forecast was for it to strengthen with the promise that we were in for some rough weather over the next 2-3 days.

At Geosetter first thing it was obvious that birds were on the move with a noticeable fall of Redwings. There was also Goldcrest & Brambling present.

Quendale was similar with more Goldcrests & Brambling & 2 Yellow Browed.

In the Sumburgh Farm/Grutness area I saw Spotted Flycatcher, 20 Barnacle Geese & Twite.

Twite in Sumburgh Quarry

I got a brief view of a probable Olive Backed Pipit at Scatness.
