Changeable

Jill has been working on the staircase in the old extension. It's a bit basic but is coming on.

Jill was a bit worried about keeping the cats of while it dried. No problem!

 This morning was a bit like this.

This afternoon was totally different.

Jill went for a bit of a walk and got snowed on. She did find a pair of otters though even though the light was rubbish.

Jill found a good spot for a camera trap. Be interesting to see what we get.

Rob was working on the next bit of daftness from the planning department   it's all still very frustrating as they don't seem to know what they are doing, but he is getting there.

Sweet start

 The sun is still shining, well this morning anyway. We woke early and Rob managed a few early phone calls, as we are still trying to get the car down south for it's recall and updates. Sigh

There had been a heavy frost overnight ( we forgot to mention we got in late as it was quiz night, we won, yay). It meant it was stunning this morning.

We couldn't resist and so went back for the waders and hoped to refund the goldfinches at Melby. The beach was packed full of waders.

We popped over to Mulla to look for the waxwing, but we didn't find it. Nice hares though..

Complications

 We have issues with the car. The RAC are supposed to have taken it down South to get the issues sorted, mostly software. Although they have told motability they have taken it away, it is still on the driveway. We got fed up  waiting, so headed to town to book a ferry, and have sorted out the repair booking ourselves. The courtesy car hasn't arrived either so we checked with Skoda that it's safe to drive in the meantime.

All booked up , it didn't take long. The updates apparently take 2 days!

We did the booking and then did some birdwatching on the way home. Lots of geese again including 24  white fronts, a bean goose and a pink foot 

We got some beautiful long tailed ducks on the way home.

We found a pair of goldfinches whilst driving and had distant views of coot.

There are still unusual numbers of Fieldfare about and the bar tailed godwit  was still at Melby.
