NORTH RONALDSAY - 4th July


Light easterlies with thick fog drifting in during the morning; a big flock of 62 Redshank were around Hooking along with plenty of fledgling Black-headed Gulls (142 counted a few days ago) while 12 Bar-tailed Godwits and 10 Golden Plover on The Links were seen in the fog and the first Fulmar chicks had hatched by Hooking.   A seawatch in the afternoon then produced the first Sooty Shearwater of the year, 7 Manx Shearwaters, a Storm Petrel and 475 Puffins.
