NORTH RONALDSAY - 23rd February


A very similar day as it was still dry and bright with a strong, cold southerly wind; had a look round the north end where there was a 2nd winter Glaucous Gull out on Seal Skerry and an adult Iceland Gull which, unfortunately was freshly dead near the seawatch hide.   There was little else up there although a flock of 7 Skylarks came in low across the sea, 5 Great-northern Divers and 3 Red-throated Divers offshore and the single Whooper Swan on Ancum.

                A little look at Brides produced the usual ducks and the Kumlien’s Gull again, this time roosting on the loch.
