Shetland - Day 7

Final day on the Isles and it was another slow day.  The morning started with the news that a rose-breasted grosbeak had been found on Unst.  Having seeing one on the Scillies, the question was whether to join the throng of birders and head north - struck with ambivalence - the decision was to stay.  The feeling was that there could be something else around.

The wind had totally died down which sparked some optimism at the start of the day.  However, you can't tie the wind down for long in these parts but at least it brightened up in the afternoon with the sun adding shimmer to the sea.

Of note today was the continuing pied flycatcher at Levenwick, and another at Quendale.  Three redpoll flew over Gulberwick.
