White's Thrush on Papa Westray, Orkney
With easterlies all day, I would have been out birding seriously, especially being as the gales don't commence until late this evening, but I had the most important application of my life to fill in and complete today and its taken hours of work – all done!
Went for a speed walk very late at 5.30pm round Sea Road and up to West Hall in Lerwick, checked the paddocks and gardens, too late in the day, but did find a couple of Blackbirds. Most birds would have gone to roost by this time.
The Yellow Warbler remains at Hoswick today and a good fall of birds, going by the messages on the WhatsApp groups, including RBFly's, YBW's, Little Buntings, Hawfinches, Waxwings, Siberian Lesser Whitethroats, Siberian Chiffchaffs, Mealy Redpolls, a Firecrest, lots of Goldcrests. No more megas yet!
Out birding tomorrow in 60mph gales 🍃, but no rain according to the forecast, bonus! 😄 😂
Northlink ferries cancelled for Thursday and highly likely for Friday too.
Panic buying in Tescos, no bread left, good job I have stock in the freezer!
