NORTH RONALDSAY - 20th November


More great conditions with a very cold, brisk straight easterly wind but it was very calm first thing so I opened the nets and caught a smart Long-eared Owl at dawn.   The wind picked up quickly so I did a pretty complete middle census route where birds included a juvenile Glaucous Gull on Torness, a little arrival of 11 Robins, 58 Snow Buntings, a Common Redpoll, a flyover Greenfinch, 4 Song Thrush, 6 Rock Pipits, 6 Meadow Pipits, 18 Skylark, 4 Knot also on Torness, an adult female Peregrine, a young male Merlin, a Hen Harrier, 2 Herons and 3 Red-throated Divers.
