NORTH RONALDSAY - 24th July


A lovely, calm, warm day with a light westerly breeze; started off by catching another seven adult Tysties at Gretchen before a walk round the Hooking census route just produced some big flocks of waders around the loch with 620+ Golden Plover, 125 Redshank and 95 Lapwings but I couldn’t find anything in amongst them, the only other birds of note were two fledgling Black Guillemots off The Links.

                A Kestrel flew south over the Obs at lunchtime (the first one I’ve seen on the island this year!) before we went on to Torness to ring another c30 Arctic Tern chicks (mainly small second brood chicks) and more Tystie chicks.


Burnished Brass


Probably a pale, faded Beautiful Golden Y and not a Plain Golden Y as first suspected
