NORTH RONALDSAY - 17th August


A pleasant day with plenty of sunshine and a moderate southerly breeze, walked the Brides census route in the morning where birds included a Short-eared Owl (over by Hooking), a Greenshank on the beach at Brides, a moulting adult Grey Plover in Nouster, 100+ Turnstone with Sanderling, Dunlin and Redshank, 7 Black-tailed Godwits near Holland, the pair of Little Grebes still feeding their two chicks, 7 Tufted Ducks including some juveniles and 3 Ravens which flew south out towards Sanday.

                Not much else through the afternoon although a flock of 55 Redshank came in off the sea while I was repairing T5 near Gretchen.
