NORTH RONALDSAY - 13th September


A lovely day, bright with a light NW breeze with the highlights around the middle census route consisting of a flyover Common Rosefinch at Phisligar, a very flighty Barred Warbler around Burray/Brigg and a Wood Sandpiper which dropped into Ancum.   Other birds included more excellent counts of 81 Ruff and 94 Black-tailed Godwits (in E and on Cauldhame Flash), 70 Mallard, 24 Teal, 12 Shoveler, at least 6 Water Rails running around Ancum, a Reed Warbler, 3 Willow Warblers and 7 Lapland Buntings.
