New flower find.

 Jill got excited finding a new flower at Watsness. Field Gentian. Not quite in flower, so will need to go back and see it flowering.



There was lots of hawk it including the pale variety Jill  found  last year.





Plenty of eyebright too.



Jill sat watching the Terns for a while. Not sure how many pairs there are, but more than last year so around 15. Can't get close with Terns.









The kittiwakes come to the lock everyday to bathe. There are good numbers this year 




And the whoopers are back.



The meadow pipit family below the house are doing well 




And the bog asphodel is flowering.




Rock pipit family on the beach and fulmar chicks on the cliff














Another good walk

New bedspread

 Jill had never been keen on the throw in the double room. It was not easy matching the green if the room, so have given up and gone blue.


The bookcases are in and Rob is sorting through what to keep from the office.


Jill visited Weisdale to have a quick view of the mother and youngster, risso,'s dolphin, in the rain.







Rob had another test flight with the drone yesterday, so we went to Melby. It was a lovely day.










Today Jill enjoyed the flowers, they are awesome this year, tall and really bright and the grasses are even purple this year.


























Their was a nice seal by the beach, lots of gannets and terns too.
The light was good 










Lots of super guests again this week. Making lots of friends around the world.
