NORTH RONALDSAY - 9th September

A light southerly wind first thing becoming westerly by the afternoon and picking up with frequent spells of spitting rain; the highlight of the Brides census route was the Buff-breasted Sandpiper still on the loch where there was also the first Jack Snipe of the autumn, other birds included a Redstart at Southness, a Garden Warbler at Kirbest, a good 155+ Snipe, a Kestrel, a Sedge Warbler, a Sand Martin, a Ruff and an increased 8 Red-throated Divers offshore.
