Very rude!

 You always make the best of good weather here, so it was off to Out Skerries today. A few early migrants are passing through, and although we didn't have big numbers it was a good day. Rob finally ticked Swift for Shetland, we had 3. Apart from that it was the usual chiffchaffs, Willow Warblers, swallow, pied flycatchers- and a pair of peacocks.












Yup peacocks ( pet ones naturally)
It was good to get 3 pipits in the same day. Mega numbers of meadow, a few rock and two tree.










A pair of otters had a tiff in the bay. One just left the scene


But the 2nd hung around- clearly in a bad mood. Put that tongue away!






















Good day!
