13th April

 A good day of birding and easterlies with intermittent rain showers meant we had our first fall conditions of the year and despite there not being anything spectacular on the day list the birding was still good fun if not a little tiring! 

An overnight dump of Chiffchaffs and Goldcrests saw the day totals at 53 and 47 respectively around the island. A late afternoon arrival of Brambling saw figures go from single figure counts up to a total of 56 birds, mainly in last years crops around the obs. A duo of Ring Ouzels and a Mistle Thrush were new additions to the year list. Two male Stonechats spent the afternoon at Lochend and Westness while three Blackcaps, and the previous days Whitethroat were present. The big day totals fell to Robin posting a remarkable 67 birds and Song Thrush with 59 in various spots, the majority of the former along the West side and up North. Finally a Kestrel spent the afternoon bombing around the NW corner of the island. 

The weather looks set in a similar vein over the next couple of days so hopefully we're done yet and there's more migrants to come!

Jeg deler dette vitnesbyrdet til partnere som lider i forholdet sitt fordi det finnes en varig løsning.

Mannen min forlot meg og våre 2 barn for en annen kvinne i 3 år. Jeg prøvde å være sterk bare for barna mine, men jeg kunne ikke kontrollere smertene som plager hjertet mitt. Jeg ble såret og forvirret. Jeg trengte hjelp, så jeg forsket litt på internett og kom over et nettsted der jeg så at Dr. DAWN ACUNA, en trollformler, kan hjelpe å få elskere tilbake. Jeg tok kontakt med henne og hun ba en spesiell bønn og trollformler for meg. Til mine overraskelser kom mannen min hjem etter 3 dager. Det var slik vi ble gjenforent igjen og det var mye kjærlighet, glede og fred i familien.

Du kan også kontakte Dr. DAWN ACUNA for rask løsning.
1) Hvis du vil gjenforenes med kjæresten din.
2) Hvis du trenger fred/ glede/ lykke i ekteskapet ditt.
3) Hvis du ønsker å behandle infertilitet.
4) Hvis du ønsker å kurere noen form for sykdom, kreft/hiv/blokkrør/etc.
5) Hvis du ønsker å tiltrekke deg noen inn i livet ditt.

Hi
I enjoy browsing your blog, seeing what is happening up on Orkney - tempted to come up and visit some time in the future.
Small niggle - can I suggest you aren't the 1st UK leg flag scheme for Ringed Plover - SCAN RG have been fitting Orange flags to autumn & wintering birds since 2012 in N.Wales. Presumably you are starting a RAS?
