NORTH RONALDSAY - 22nd October


Very strong winds throughout the day being dryish in the morning before heavy, persistent, driving rain moved in late morning essentially ending the day halfway through; I managed to see a few bits in a brief and rushed Hooking census route before the rain arrived with the Great Grey Shrike at Holland as I passed, a female Common Scoter off The Links, the late Whinchat still near South Gravity and a juvenile Dark-bellied Brent Goose which flew south down The Links.   Other birds included 8 Whooper Swans, a Hen Harrier, 2 Great-northern Divers and the odd Redwing, Song Thrush, Robin and Chaffinch.
