NORTH RONALDSAY - 10th June

A decent day with light winds but overcast with a few spots of rain in the afternoon; nets first thing produced the first Marsh Warbler of the year along with a new Blackcap while the Black-throated Diver was again in Nouster before we headed out for another wader sweep during which we ringed some Redshank, Curlew, Oystercatcher, Lapwing, Black-headed Gull and Snipe chicks.

                I then had good views of the Ortolan Bunting again near the road by Ancum Willows before the northern census route was quiet with lingering waders the highlight with 120+ Knot, 40+ Sanderling and 13 Bar-tailed Godwit around Bewan.
