Up to Lund #Unst to see the group of 3 buff-breasted sandpipers this morning. We were pleased to find a 4th bird which seemed to keep its distance from the other 3 so never got all 4 in one photo. Also found a lovely 1st winter med gull on the beach.

I'm already in position and waiting #Unst
Birding on #Unst for the past week has been extremely tough. There is a significant lack of migrants so far. It's only the buff-breasted sandpipers (now 3) and a single yellow-browed warbler that has kept us going. A blackcap or a lesser whitethroat would be nice. Hopefully next week will be better.

2 buff-breasted sandpiper at Lund #Unst this morning #rarebirdsuk Hopefully there'll be an upland sandpiper there tomorrow 🤞 A few days I saw my first buff-breasted in 34 years ago and now I've doubled that.

Nothing of note on #Unst for me today. Highlight was doing some hoovering back at the accommodation.
Amazing encounter with an otter at Westing #Unst this morning.
Hard going on #Unst today due to the wind. Managed to get a couple of island ticks; black-tailed godwit and pale-bellied brent goose.

Scotland's most northerly castle, Muness Castle on the island of Unst in Shetland. It was built from 1598 by Laurence Bruce, a deeply unpopular Sheriff of Shetland. It was attacked by the Earl of Orkney in 1608 and the French in 1627. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...
