NORTH RONALDSAY - 4th October


Still horrendous weather so I waited until the afternoon when it was marginally better to walk round the Brides census route but it was still hard work with my first 15 Whooper Swans of the autumn the highlight (5 on Brides and 10 on Hooking) which included a couple of family parties along with 27 Pink-footed Geese.   Migrants included a Jack Snipe, a Kestrel, Whinchat, a Redstart, a Tree Pipit, 4 Robins, 10 Wheatears, 9 Song Thrushes, a Blackcap, single Willow Warbler and Chiffchaff, 6 Chaffinches and 12 Reed Buntings.
