NORTH RONALDSAY - 5th June


A nice day with a moderate easterly breeze and a couple of spells of light rain, especially in the afternoon; the day started well as I caught a very angry adult Bonxie in the crow trap before nets at Holland produced an unseasonal female Ring Ouzel and a Spotted Flycatcher while there were 7 Collared Doves and 2 Chiffchaffs in the garden.   Birds around the Obs census route then included 3 Red-necked Phalaropes on Gretchen (two females and a male), a Chiffchaff, a Great-northern Diver and a House Martin.

                Nets in the evening, after a spell of rain produced a new Willow Warbler (first one for a little while) and one of the aforementioned Collared Doves.
