Out of focus sky!

 All three rooms needed making up today, so it was a busy day, and the grass needed cutting..

Rob was feeling poorly and has an infection so Jill went to pick up the prescription. Quick scout round found a smart curlew.









There were big groups of redshank about too.

The light coming home was peculiar. It made the clouds look like they had been drawn with pastels and smudged. An out of focus sky!






Got home and set the moth trap up. Will see what we have in the morning.

Ruddy ducks!

 We've had a stressful week, so we gave ourselves a break and went to Fetlar this afternoon for the Ruddy Shelduck. However, we didn't find it. It was a super day though. We stopped at Burravoe on the way through for puffins.













There were lots of painted ladies on the cliffs







And a cliff hugging bunny.



Then it was off to Fetlar 

Lots of wee chicks, they are a bit behind us. Including, our first dunlins.oh, and Jill's favourite, snipe on a post.



























Marsh lousewort
Common Butterwort
Good day with good light on the way home








Out of focus sky!
