No guests this weekend so we are making the most of it. Today we went to our favourite place, The Skerries. We haven't been on a Friday before, and you don't get so long, but it was lovely and not too rough!
It was quiet a Chiffchaff, willow warbler and 3 blackcaps. Another local birder, Andrew , found a stone curlew. Jill went to look but didn't find it, she didn't want to tramp around and disturb it as Andrew had said it was exhausted and Stonies are quite nervie at the best of times. Mostly sitting and scanning, after 30 mins, Jill gave up and left it alone somewhere.
Lots of Great Northern divers though.
We dropped off a hat, left behind by our guests, in Hamnavoe, did a Tesco's run and enjoyed a takeaway. Nice
