Surprise end to the day

 Bit miserable first thing so Jill got on paint scraping on the last door frame. Won't miss the horrible colouring of it.


Then it was a bit more firewood cutting and another edge to the parking area.


Mid afternoon it was beautiful so Jill headed over to Norby for a walk on the beach. Good to see lots of Terns feeding their newly fledged chick's. There were about 15 razorbills fishing too.

As Jill was finishing the walk, news came out of a rare visitor. A first for Shetland so , picking Rob up on the way through, we headed South for a Hudsonian Godwit on Grutness Pool






























Good numbers of dunlin there too. The light was lovely.


Chips on the way home.
