We had a later start today but eventually spent most of the afternoon touring some interesting spots around South Ronaldsay and the other south islands (linked to each other by the “Churchill Barriers”). Some highlights included two Redshanks in the harbour at St Margaret’s Hope, a Common Seal and a Mute Swan with a cygnet at St Mary’s, two Little Terns overhead at Churchill Barrier 4 (with a distant view of Copinsay Lighthouse) and a good selection of cliff-nesting species at Windwick Bay including Fulmar, Razorbill, Guillemot, Raven, Jackdaw, Shag and Rock Dove with a couple of Gannets offshore. Perhaps the most remarkable sighting was of a “blonde” Rabbit near Cleat – its fur was golden-yellow with lighter yellow ears. This evening, a Raven and Grey Heron caused consternation in the meadows down by the Loch of Kirbister.
