It was a beautiful sunny day on Sunday so a little site seeing was in order. We took a jaunt down to Sumburgh and Spiggie and were amazed at how many pairs of Fulmars we saw. It's good to see they inhabit even man made areas such as quarries and road side rocky cliffs.
Took an early evening walk along Ness of Sound and had good views of otter and seals. It's so close to Lerwick but super for wildlife.
We tried for the Aurora but got too tired and gave up at just before 10pm. We should have waited longer - but know for next time. We did see a hint of green but missed the better showing at 10.30pm. With the clocks changing it gets dark here at around 9pm.
Today we made lots of calls and sorted a plumber and hopefully BT although the 1mb broadband speed we can get is thoroughly underwhelming!. Hopefully we will get fibre in about 18 months.
We got to the house mid morning and spent the day covering drafty windows and making covers for blowy fireplaces ready for the cold weather we are due. A good job, jobbed.
Garden tick of a nice male sparrowhawk. But it took one of the resident starlings.
Nice to see those pictures!
