After the briefest of absences, sizeable flocks of waders returned to the island, including 44
Bar-tailed Godwits ,15
Knots, 27
Sanderlings and 113
Turnstones. The best sighting of the day was a pair of
Little Terns, a new species for the year, flying along the links.
Little Terns have occasionally nested on North Ronaldsay, although in most years they are a very scarce visitor.
