Going black

 Jill's ankle is doing well and gradually showing the bruise! It's pretty.

One of our guests was out with us while Rob was flying the drone. He almost has enough footage to start working on his first video.


We finally found a cork board big enough for our map so we have now put up our visitor map. Quite a few pins already.


Jill has done a bit more step.


Means it's easier to get to the knotweed for pulling it up!!

Had the moth trap out this morning. Over a 100 yellow underwings but two new ones for the garden. Small mottled willow and rosy rustic.












It was a bit windy for many photos!!

Whoopsi!

 Quick trip into town and a stop at Mairs Pier. Good numbers of Kittiwakes, Terns and Tysties.











Yesterday, as we had no one checking in, we took some guests over to Out Skerries. No migrant birds but lovely walks and great seals and otters.






































































We had an amazing day but unfortunately Jill found a rabbit hole or some such hole and sprained her ankle. It looks pretty bad this morning

We  had a good catch up with Matt and Pete on the ferry and then had some lovely chips from Frankie's on the way home.

No rest for the ankle, full house again tonight!
