NORTH RONALDSAY - 25th June

Still windy first thing but it gradually eased off through the day, birds on the Hooking census route included 3 summer plumaged Black-tailed Godwits, 96 Turnstone and 10 Golden Plover involving some new returning birds as were probably the 14 Wigeon and 10 Gadwall on the loch.   Other birds of note comprised a Great-northern Diver, a Woodpigeon, 14 Sand Martins and an impressive 157+ Black-headed Gull fledglings around the loch.
