First timer

 We left home today in thick fog.  It cleared a bit as we drove but stayed a bit murky all day. The sea was calm so it was a good crossing to Out Skerries. 

Our friend Penny came with us. It was her first time. We introduced her to some of the good areas to check and found some bits we hadn't done before.

There were a few migrants about, Redstart, Spotted Flycatcher, Lesser Whitethroats and quite a few Willow Warblers and Chiffchaffs. We just managed to catch up with the Red Backed Shrike before we left. Penny was good company and we had some laughs.





























The long grass over there was very wet. Jill's shoes were full of water when we finally got home!

Happy new year everyone

 We believed the weather forecast that said we were going to have lots of snow tonight. So we stayed home. No snow so far! The last few days...
