NORTH RONALDSAY - 25th August


A rough morning with a strong NW wind bringing frequent, heavy showers; went out to do a bit of the middle census route in the afternoon when the weather was slightly better but it was still quiet as birds included a Hen Harrier, a Kestrel, 4 Herons, 2 Black-tailed Godwits, 23 Knot, 7 Teal and a Water Rail.   I then had an hour’s seawatch which produced 6 Sooty Shearwaters, 2 Manx Shearwaters and a Great-northern Diver.
