NORTH RONALDSAY - 15th May


Another lovely day until a band of rain moved in early evening as the wind turned into the west and picked up; nets at Holland were quieter than yesterday as birds included 3 Common Redpolls, a Whitethroat, 5 Chiffchaffs and 2 Blackcaps.   The Hooking census route was also pretty quiet with increased number of waders on The Links the most noteworthy feature including 203 Ringed Plovers, 160 Sanderling, 200 Turnstone and 30 Dunlin while the only passerine migrants were single Whitethroat, Willow Warbler and Chiffchaff.
