NORTH RONALDSAY - 16th September


A very difficult day with a blazing force 8 southerly swinging round into the west by the afternoon but losing none of its strength; it was really tricky out in the field around the Hooking census route with a young female Peregrine hunting low over the loch but none of the ducks would even take off which included 5 Pintail, 3 Gadwall, 3 Shoveler and 22 Teal.   Other birds on the quiet census included a Kestrel, 4 Wheatears, 5 Black-tailed Godwits and not much else.
