NORTH RONALDSAY - 26th October


A change in the wind as it became a strong, very cold northerly which cut right through you bringing frequent and nasty hail / rain showers through the day but it was bright and sunny in between; a seawatch first thing was disappointingly quiet with just a Blue Fulmar of note but there was a Little Grebe on Bewan and the Yellow Wagtail was still at Trolla.   Birds in the Obs census route then included 2 Common Redpolls at Holland, 20 Brambling, 10 Chaffinch and 12 Twite still in Funny Park, a Kestrel, the Green-winged Teal, a Black-headed Gull, 4 Robins, a Fieldfare, 30 Redwing and c400 Golden Plover.
