As it was fairly late in the afternoon when I went for a walk, I decided visit Tout Quarry in the hope of seeing a few migrants at the top end of the island.
What seemed to be a good idea, didn't materialise and the best I could do was one Chiffchaff.
In fact I wasn't that surprised as that bitter north-easterly was absolutely freezing. Where did Spring go!!
