Well the relaxing day out has come to an end with 65 species seen today.
A rough reckoning means that I have seen approx 29.545455888% of the target I have set myself - more or less.
Highlights of the day where a Goldfinch down at the South end of South Ronaldsay, a fine flock of 60 Barnacle Geese at Hestily and a Buzzard being given grief by a Raven. A Pied Wagtail in The Hope was also of note - when I first came to Orkney over 6 years ago, you had to wait until March to see one. Also Coots are widespread now on any sizeable water body - Loch of Harray used to be the only place you could guarantee one in the winter.
Now waiting for the news to filter through from other folk. Off to work tomorrow, but there should be enough light left on the way home for a little "twitch"
The "CAST" in order of appearance should be somewhere down the right hand side of this blog - I hope.
