NORTH RONALDSAY - 28th July

Got back in the afternoon from a night in Kirkwall to a nice, sunny day; had a little look around Bewan where there were 59 Knot (including a yellow flagged individual which took ages to read!), 30+ Dunlin and c300 Arctic Terns.   There was a Green Sandpiper, a Red-necked Phalarope and 10 Teal on Gretchen in the evening.


Black Guillemots


Colour ringed Knot - ringed at Porsanger at the top of Norway in 2007, it has been re-sighted there every year since as well as a few sightings in The Netherlands.   This is the first time its been seen across this side of the North Sea
