NORTH RONALDSAY - 22nd April


A light SE wind through the morning naturally led to thick fog by lunchtime but the wind had switched into the west by the afternoon with the fog clearing almost instantly; with the changing conditions and the SE wind I was expecting a bit more from the west coast census route but it was fairly quiet with yesterday’s Dotterel on Torness, an adult male Merlin, the first Goldfinch of the year south over Gue Park, 2 Dunnocks, a Blackcap and the Bonxie pair back on territory.   Also of note on Gretchen were 6 Ruff (with a few males starting to get some plumage) and 8 Black-tailed Godwits.
