Enjoying your blog - from the initials and place names I'm guessing you're living on Whalsay? Do I win five pounds? Been up there birding a couple of autumns in the mid to late nineties - cracking place, with loads of potential.

I'm based in west Cork in Ireland - Spring migration here is just winding down, while you're just getting going by the sound of things! check out Galley Head Birding on the surfbirds blog list.

All the best
