Finally, working outdoors

 The last couple of days have been good so Jill has been working outdoors. The rockery has had more added to it. The path now reaches the step and the new drainage ditch is getting bigger . The cat helped!

We had a quick break yesterday, and got lucky. We had a lazy hare for about 20 minutes.

The tide was right out at Melby which meant the Long tailed ducks were feeding right on the shoreline.

Jill checked on the  wildlife camera. Need to check the footage properly but it looks like we captured something good. While down the bottom Jill checked on the new bridge ( Jilly's bridge) down by the loch. It is now much easier getting to the beach. Thank you Liam from Access Shetland. https://www.shetland.gov.uk/blog/shetlandoutdoors It's appeared in less than two weeks of asking. 

The beach was great today. Some good waves to watch.

Did spot a distant otter

Found it!

 It was our wedding anniversary on the 17 th. 19 years!

There have been some stunning sunsets. One yesterday, at Mossbank, whilst on PA day with Mark

Sarah got Jill some gorgeous flowers too 

Today we had an anniversary day out and we did really well. Lots of the usual stuff. Twite and Rock dove in the garden.

Loads of purple Sandpipers and divers at Melby

We found an super Iceland Gull at the harbour in town.

Then, on one of our last spots to check, Jill picked up a Grebe in Virkie Marina. It was a smart Red necked Grebe.

We finished the day with a lovely indian meal from Saffron and another smashing sunset on the way home.
