We, as it happens a tick for Jill popped up at Hermaness on Unst so it just had to be done. We got up early for the ferry and got there mid morning. Its a lovely spot, if a bit windy.
The Hornemanns Redpoll hadn't been spotted yet so Jill left Rob in the car park where it was last seen, and headed off to the top of the cliffs. As she got to the top, word came out it had been spotted and Rob picked it up straight away. Jill decided to continue on and catch it later
It's about a 2.5 mile walk to the cliffs. It is the furthest North in the UK, spectacular, and full of birds
The Redpoll was still around on Jill's return so she joined Rob in some sheep pens to watch it. It was a bit flighty but there was plenty of opportunity for photographs. Will add some more to tomorrow's blog
Then it was 2 ferries back to the mainland for a lovely meal at the Gurkha Kitchen
And finally saw a pair of otters on the way home, at Bridge of Walls. We had been saying since the first crossing that it looked like a good place.
You found your puffins!
ReplyDeleteI think you mean Hermaness, not Herman's don't you? Enjoying reading all about it, if it's any consolation Norfolk is just as windy if almost not as cold!
