NORTH RONALDSAY - 6th September


A miserable morning with the moderate S wind bringing wave after wave of drizzly rain but it brightened up by lunchtime to leave a nice, sunny afternoon; birds up the west coast included a juvenile Curlew Sandpiper on Westbeach, at least 3 Lapland Buntings around the Nether Linney stubble field and c400 Golden Plover on Torness with 5 Knot, 20 Dunlin and 55 Turnstone.   A look on The Links in the afternoon produced another 2 Lapland Buntings, 17 Bar-tailed Godwits and 120 Sanderling.
