Kestrel and cake

 It was still quite chilly but it was actually quite bright so we got up early to see what we could see. We started at Melby with some nice purple Sandpipers


Then we went down South and had a hunting Kestrel at East Voe.





By the time we got to Sumburgh there were only a few puffins down low on the cliff but the usual Twite were there and there was Fulmar porn on the cliffs.




The Shags were also busy, collecting nesting material.




We stopped at a few places travelling North and picked up a total of 58 species today.










Oh and we stopped for cake at Hoswick. Yum.

Got to home to see that Jim had been in and worked on the porch ceiling. He's off for the next couple of weeks so uts good to get it done.


And this evening


Not the finest, but you have to start somewhere!!
