Today started with a Stoat running across the road near Cott
(Reported to the Orkney Native Wildlife Project). In Stromness, a Sparrowhawk flew overhead, sending the local
Starlings into a panic. Other notable birds were Linnet and Collared Dove. A
walk over the back of the town led to amazing views over to Hoy. In the
afternoon, the RSPB reserve at Cottascarth produced a female Merlin feeding at
least two young in the heather. An evening visit to the RSPB reserve at Hobbister
produced a great bird list, the highlights of which were Great Skua; Stonechat;
Linnet; Lesser Redpoll; Willow Warbler; Sedge Warbler; Hen Harrier; Ringed
Plover (one in a turning area for peat extraction vehicles); Reed Bunting;
Gannet; Black Guillemot; Cuckoo (one repeatedly singing) and; Pheasant. Non-birds
consisted of Magpie Moth; Silver Y Moth and Grey Seal (plus four Brown Hares back
at base).
