The 21st and 22nd were two very different days, rainy all day on the 21st and nice, clear and sunny on the 22nd. The Yellow-breasted Bunting remained throughout allowing a few boat-loads time to get on and see it, and it played ball, for the most part.
Yellow-breasted Bunting still preforming well - Out Skerries - 22nd September. |
It was still loosly hanging round with the Little Bunting.
Elsewhere it was largely the same with only the odd new in migrant, a Redstart and a few Blackcap etc with the Siberian Lesser Whitethroat remaining along with most Phlloscs.
Yellow-browed Warbler - Out Skerries - 22nd September. |
The 23rd brought with it strong southeast winds, the beginning of a weeks worth! What would it bring? Surely something.
Well the strong wind made it difficult but several new birds were found during the day (although a Whinchat was the only one I came across). Flava, Sand Martin, Chaffinch, Spotted Flycatcher and a Corncrake were contributions made by others.
