18th May

A small number of fresh migrants arriving for a calmer day included a Black Redstart, a Garden Warbler, a Lapland Bunting and a couple of Common Sandpipers. A Glaucous Gull at Trollavatn was the first for a few weeks, and a single Pochard on Gretchen Loch might have been new. The Wryneck was still in the Westness area, and a Tree Pipit and 2 Redstarts also remained.
