NORTH RONALDSAY - 23rd February


The wind had dropped away to around force 3 and switched round to a very cold North-easterly; walked around census route B where highlights included a ringtail Hen Harrier at Brides and a flyover Snow Bunting; other totals included 140 Golden Plover, 95 Wigeon, 8 Great-northern Divers and 21+ Long-tailed Ducks offshore and 30 Purple Sandpipers.

                A new adult male Hen Harrier was cruising round the Obs in the afternoon which appeared to come in from the south.
