NORTH RONALDSAY - 2nd June

The wind went back into the east for a time bringing low cloud and drizzle (turning into proper rain on occasion) which dominated much of the day, it cleared in the afternoon with the wind picking up before dropping off to almost nothing late evening; the all-over-the-place weather through the day did produce a few birds though highlighted by a Curlew Sandpiper at Bewan.

                Other totals included a late Pink-footed Goose on Ancum, 3 Whimbrel, a Collared Dove, 4 House Martins, a Robin, single Blackcap, Chiffchaff and Willow Warbler and 2 Spotted Flycatchers.


These lost Shelducklings were perhaps doomed...
