NORTH RONALDSAY - 3rd October

Crazy windy again with a force 8 westerly blasting across the island so the Obs census route was a bit challenging but there are still a good number of migrants ‘trapped’ by this period of horrible weather including the Barred Warbler still round the Obs (trapped late in the afternoon), a Redstart, 2 Blackcap, 5 Chiffchaffs, 8 Robins, 8 Song Thrushes, a Tree Pipit, 11 Rock Pipits (including birds in funny places like Holland!), a Grey Wagtail in Nouster, 2 Goldcrests and 10 Wheatears.
