Scarborough Birders do the Skerries! DAY 9

Our last full day on these stunning islands.
Unfortunately it was pretty bird free with no new in migrants.

A couple of
Yellow-browed Warbler were scattered around and provided so photo opportunities. A couple of Chiffchaff and Blackcap and a single Willow Warbler were also present.

A
Whinchat was again present by the Iris beds on Housay, where we flushed the Water Rail on our first walk through in the morning.

Elsewhere the
Brown Shrike continued it stay but remained just as wary, not allowing anyone to get within 100 meters.
My totals at the end of the day were; 1 Water Rail, 1 Song Thrush, 2 Robin, 1 Whinchat, 12 Wheatear, 4 Blackcap, 2 Chiffchaff, 1 Willow Warbler, 4 Yellow-browed Warbler and 1 Brown Shrike.
