SHETLAND 2024 DAY 4

This morning was spent on the west side of the mainland. A few migrant birds were seen after a full day's birding: 6 blackcaps, 8 yellow-browed warblers, and a Siberian chiffchaff.

The wind has really picked up this afternoon, making it challenging to find birds. However, before dusk, we connected with a returning juvenile White-fronted Goose and observed Pink-footed Geese at Loch of Spiggie.
