NORTH RONALDSAY - 24th June


Back to lovely sunny conditions but the previous few days rough weather took their toll though as three out of the four Swallow broods we were due to ring were unfortunately dead in the nest, the Raven chicks didn’t survive the westerly storm (although it was a stupidly low nest on the west cliffs) and the Bonxies failed as well with a small chick dead in the nest.   The days birding highlight was a first-summer Little Gull bobbing around on Hooking with 40 Black-headed Gull fledglings.
