This morning was glorious so Jill started outside bagging some more peat and emptying some wormy wood out of the barn to burn. Another bonfire done!
We have both been a bit low this weekend as the solicitor who was supposed to be working on Robs GP negligence claim pulled out ' because he is not medical trained'!!!!! It's taken him over 2 years to decide this was a problem so we now have a ridiculously short time to sort something out. Looks like we might have to do it ourselves. Nothing runs smoothly.
So we just decided to head off and mouch a out to see what we could see.
Good numbers of Redwings and Fieldfares with the odd Song Thrush and lots of Kittiwakes at Melby. Then on to Norby beach - a first for Rob. There was a beautiful group of 16 Long-tailed ducks and a Golden Eye. As well as Ringed Plover.
On the way back to the road we saw a sheep with the biggest ears ever. Made us chuckle.
Note the starlings hitching a ride.
After that we went to Scalloway Harbour to try again for the King Eider. Got it this time.
With a little bit of time left before it got dark we drove to Hoswick for a really showy Barred Warbler in a Sycamore tree.
All in all, a lovely mouchy day.
