NORTH RONALDSAY - 19th September


A pleasant day with the light wind still in the NW; the day started well at the nets at Holland with the highlight being a cracking young female Bluethroat with a calling Yellow-browed Warbler, a Common Rosefinch which took off to the north, a Garden Warbler, a Blackcap and 3 Willow Warblers also in the garden.

                The middle census route in the afternoon sunshine was disappointingly quiet with no grounded migrants at all but other birds included single Merlin and Kestrel, a flyover Redpoll sp. 34 Wigeon, 11 Shoveler, 10 Gadwall, 38 Teal and 9 Black-tailed Godwits.
