Correction

Jill got it wrong. The family that came visiting, JR and his new wife Kim, were not the nephew and his wife. JR is the third cousin to Sonny. His Great Granny was a sister to Sonny's Mam. So, apologies. So glad the  family read the blog so we get it right.

Today Jill did PA day over at Mossbank. The drive over was lovely.









On the way Jill spotted the Red throated divers by the road have hatched again. They were at the back of the loch, so distant

Little dude

 Just a wee bit of fluff, but little dude is doing well. Might actually be a girlie.



But we will see. Comb is small but solid legs.





Going to be an interesting colour.

Rob wanted another trip to Sumburgh for puffins. Seemed like a good idea.



There were over 30 painted ladies

Jill watched Arctic Skuas trying to steal fish from Guillemots.




As we left Jill spotted something new that she has walked by many times without seeing. Will need to find out more about it.

We have had several family members of  Sonny's family stay this weekend as there was a wedding. It was good to meet Sonny's nephew , new wife and baby Sonny!. So cute. And tonight we have  Maxine and Ernie staying, who are also relatives. It's amazing hearing stories of the 🏠 and it's history.  Sonny was the last owner.
