NORTH RONALDSAY - 23rd April


A brisk and increasing SW wind blew across the island through the day so it was pretty quiet in the middle census area as birds only included single Lesser Whitethroat, Chiffchaff, Sand Martin, Swallow, Robin and Dunnock while a Water Rail was on Ancum and the lone Whooper Swan was flying around.   A Goldcrest and the long-staying Ring Ouzel were around the Obs and a darvic ringed Oystercatcher on the airstrip had been ringed at Beaumaris on Anglesey in 2012 and was the first time it had been re-sighted.
