NORTH RONALDSAY - 29th May

A very wet and windy morning but the cold NW wind dropped off significantly in the afternoon and the rain diminished to just the odd light shower; there were though, signs that there were a few new landbirds across the island as migrants included single Sparrowhawk, a Collared Dove, a Short-eared Owl at Brides, 2 Lesser Whitethroats, a Garden Warbler, 2 Blackcaps, a Chiffchaff, a Redwing trapped at Holland and the 2 Tree Sparrows.
