A juvenile Pallid Harrier had been present in the Northdale area on Unst since 13th September. We had looked for this bird unsuccessfully whilst on the way to Norwick, but returned later in the day with better luck

As we approached Northdale the bird flew up from a small patch of roadside trees & perched on a fence post giving good views. It then flew a little further away & perched on a grassy ridge for a few minutes before continuing along the valley & out of site.
