North Ronaldsay, Orkney

In October 2006 I visited the island of North Ronaldsay which is the most northerly of the Orkney Islands which lie off the north coast of Scotland. The island is a migrant 'hot spot' which regularly turns up some rarities and vagrants, although not as famous for this as the nearby island of Fair Isle which can be seen on a clear day. On this visit things were a little quieter than hoped but it was still a very interesting and enjoyable trip.
