NORTH RONALDSAY - 12th June


Warm and calm but overcast; the Black-throated Diver was in the bay again and 8 Bar-tailed Godwits and 5 Golden Plover (returning birds already) were in the Obs section before the Brides census route was pretty quiet with a few ducks and waders, a couple of Sedge Warbler pairs and some Eider and Shelduck ducklings.   We then had a proper sweep through Loch Park where we found some big Lapwings, small Curlews and Common Gulls and a few fledgling Snipe of which we managed to catch one.





Upset Great Black-backed Gull after we ringed her chicks yesterday!
