Hare fest

 Quiet few days printing the photos from the weekend and catching up with boring stuff like washing. Had a nice little run out for some wildlife and had a happy meeting with a lovely female right by the roadside. We watched her for half an hour.

There were a few things at Melby but it was quiet compared with recent visits.

Jim has put the sill in ready for the new front door to go in.

Cladding.

 Jim was with us today so it was cladding time  . Jill did the carrying and some marking up while Jim got them on. Looking great with 2 sides now done.

We were hoping to get all the prints done and dropped off today but the Internet was down and of course we needed Internet for photoshop! Some are done but the rest will get done in the morning.

After yesterday's amazing trip, we had a quick break at Melby. Still a few divers around and it was good to see Dunlin back. Nice addition on 6 Barnacle Geese at Norby. Still have several pairs of golden Plover on the driveway.

Reward

 Rob has been working on VAT and Jill spent the day working the files for printing tomorrow. The mounts finally arrived,  a week late. Jill also wrote to the parliamentary Ombudsman. We still haven't got anywhere with our grant for solar so this appears to be our last option.

So to reward ourselves we took a quick break and went to Melby. It started quiet but got very busy.

We ended up with a count of 18 Great Northen divers. Yes 18, and at least 14 red throated divers, 2 razorbills, 4 mergansers and 6 wheatears.
