NORTH RONALDSAY - 19th July

Another lovely, fine day with light winds swinging round into the east through the day; more Tystie chicks were ringed through the day – we’ve already beaten last year’s total!   The main feature of the day’s birding was a further influx of returning waders as totals included 486 Golden Plover, 3 Knot, 59 Sanderling, 30 Purple Sandpipers, 163 Dunlin (including the first juvenile of the autumn), 17 Bar-tailed Godwit, a Whimbrel, 91 Curlew and 166 Turnstone while other birds of note comprised a Little Tern, 1,460+ Arctic Terns, a Swift, 2 Chiffchaffs and 3 Common Crossbills including a juvenile trapped at the Obs.
