NORTH RONALDSAY - 9th October


Despite much searching the Siberian Blue Robin was not re-found first thing after the night’s heavy rain had moved through, I opened some nets at Holland mid-morning and caught a few Redwings while the Red-breasted Flycatcher was still present and now weighs 10.3g.   There were a few new birds around the Obs census route including 45 Redwing and 7 Fieldfares while other birds of note comprised a Whinchat, a Lapland Bunting, 6 Blackcaps, 3 Chiffchaffs, a Lesser Whitethroat and 8 Wheatears.

                The family party of 5 Whooper Swans flew out south over the Obs in the morning and the drake Green-winged Teal was still on Gretchen along with 25 Teal and 20 Black-tailed Godwits.
