7th July

After a night in Kirkwall, I had a walk around Inganess Bay near the airport where there was a good spread of breeding birds including three very bright male Lesser Redpolls crazily displaying, several Stonechat, Sedge Warbler and Reed Bunting families, c40 Common Terns in the bay with at least six flying juveniles and a Red-throated Diver in the bay which caught a fish and carried it off to its chick somewhere in the hills.
