I spent the morning in the accommodation because I had a Microsoft Teams interview online, while the others headed out. During my interview, news broke that a Common Nighthawk had been spotted by the side of the road on the island of Yell. Panic set in because I needed this bird for my British list. After my interview, I quickly went to the airport to rent a car for the day and headed north. When I arrived at the ferry terminal in Toft, I learnt that the bird was actually a Nightjar! Unbelievable! Earlier in the day, a Pallas's Warbler had also been found, so I decided to go there and was rewarded with great views of the bird.

Late afternoon was spent at the Loch of Spiggie, where I connected with a Scaup and a Slavonian grebe.
