NORTH RONALDSAY - 6th March

A very similar day to yesterday, overcast with the cold, NE breeze still cutting through you; an hour’s seawatch first thing was slow as totals just included 46 Kittiwakes and 172 Auk sp. while elsewhere the highlights unsurprisingly remained the same with the drake Green-winged Teal on Gretchen, the drake Smew on Bewan and the Eurasian White-fronted Goose still.   Other birds included a Pink-footed Goose, 6 Pintail, a Merlin, the 5 Chaffinches still, 55 Twite and the 3 Common Redpolls.
