NORTH RONALDSAY - 9th March


A quiet day with a blazing westerly wind and some nasty showers whipping through; the Northern Harrier was around the Obs in the morning but the C census route was largely uneventful with no evidence of any new migrants (not really surprising given the wind!) as birds included the drake Smew again on Hooking, 24 Long-tailed Ducks, 4 Red-throated Diver and a ringtail Hen Harrier near Sangar.
