NORTH RONALDSAY - 12th June

A strong cold northerly wind dominated the day but it did remain largely dry throughout; the days highlights consisted of a pair of Red-necked Phalaropes only just visible in amongst the thick Mare’s Tail on Hooking Loch – prime breeding habitat if ever I saw it and a female Red-backed Shrike caught in T1.   Other bits included the Whooper Swan, 49 Knot, 20 Bar-tailed Godwits and a Woodpigeon.
