NORTH RONALDSAY - 9th July

Overcast with a moderate westerly breeze, I had a seawatch first thing which again produced good numbers of birds with 63 Manx Shearwaters, 4 Sooty Shearwaters, 7 Storm Petrels, a Red-throated Diver, a group of 5 Common Scoter and a massive 2,831 Puffins past in two hours.   The only other bird of note through the day was an adult Black-throated Diver which flew past the Beacon as we were checking nests.
