NORTH RONALDSAY - 15th August

A different day with strong NW winds but plenty of sunshine, the wind added a new dimension into the Fulmar ringing, dramatically increasing their spitting range if you approached from the wrong side; birds of note seen through the day included a Sooty Shearwater, a Wigeon, the first Merlin of the autumn at the Obs, 78 Knot, a Ruff, 6 Black-tailed Godwits, 3 Whimbrel, a Greenshank, 2 Green Sandpipers, 223 Turnstone and 2 Willow Warblers.
