Reflections

 The weather has got a bit milder and its been calm so there have been some stunning reflections.

While down at the loch, Jill had a look for seal pups. Its been either wet or icy so not conducive for standing near a cliff edge!

Pleased to see 5, at different ages, all doing well.

 This one is now called smiler. Even the rock is smiling.

Lots of fulmars too and a Goldeneye.

On the way back, Jill checked the burn, lots of water and plenty of skitish snipe.

Rob was a bit low as he cant get to see the pups so , we had an early lunch and went for a drive. It was grand. Nice to see a merlin.

When we got back. Rob did some work on images while Jill designed a voucher for both the b and b and for Robs business. Then she made a hatch to cover the hole made to get to the heating- which, now its set up correctly, is now working well.

Good use of a skirting offcut!

Curtain

 We were losing heat into the hole whete the extension is. We put insulation board up but the cats got the sulks!. So Jill made a cat curtain.

It took a while, but they use it, even Spicey, the feral

The weather was ok today so we popped out for a bit. Started on the patch.

We had a wee bit of sun as you can see. But there were lots of showers.

We checked out Vesquoy and found an otter. Jill watched him for a while.

Always feel priviledged.

We went a bit south to look for the little bunting thats been around we didnt find it after quite a while looking. Did see lots of Linties ( twite)  some chiff chaffs and a lovely Goldfinch. We dont see them often on Shetland.

The beach was as beautiful as ever at Scousrough. Good to see some fulmars back.

On the way home, although the light was failing we got a nice dunlin and a heron.
