NORTH RONALDSAY - 7th September


A decent morning with a light southerly breeze and birds around the middle census route included a/the Marsh Harrier quartering Ancum, 2 Whinchats, a Willow Warbler, 9 Herons, 62 Teal, 3 Gadwall, 21 Wigeon and 4 Black-tailed Godwits.   Rain moved in by lunchtime and lingered on and off for the rest of the afternoon which brought the day’s highlight as a cracking ARCTIC WARBLER was trapped in T1 early evening – an awesome ringing tick!

and to compare, the Greenish Warbler from last month
