NORTH RONALDSAY - 31st August


Nice and calm first thing but nets at Holland first thing were empty with just a Hen Harrier over and a Black Redstart in the Kirkyard of note, the wind soon picked up to become a very strong southerly which stayed the rest of the day.   Birds around the middle census route in the afternoon included a Merlin, a Kestrel, a Hen Harrier, a Gadwall, 13 Wigeon and 13 Teal on Ancum, a good influx of 98+ Snipe with little flocks all over the place including coming in off the sea, 3 Herons, 19 Knot and 6 Wheatears.
