NORTH RONALDSAY - 5th September

A calm start with a brisk southerly breeze picking up through the day, nets were quiet first thing before a walk up the west coast produced a group of 5 Kestrels together on Torness, a Merlin, a small, juvenile male Peregrine, 160+ Meadow Pipits up the coast, 15 Wheatears and a Garden Warbler and 2 Willow Warbler round the Obs beforehand.   A smart Common Rosefinch was around the traps late afternoon.
