Doesnt look much like a frog

 Jill likes orchids so after not finding a frog orchid the first time, we headed back to Unst and the Keen of Hamar.

We had a tip that there were some on a grass verge by the shop but unfortunately it had been recently moved. This is very close to the Keen of Hamar so we went back.

Very kindly there was a sign just inside the gate showing where one was. Actually ( sorry orchid) it's very small and very underwhelming, but we have now both seen one.



Not sure why someone things t looks like a frog!

New flower was Slender St Johns Wort, Heath Milkwort and Northern Rock Cress.







Shetlands rarity, Edmonton Chickweed

Several other plants doing well in a barren landscape too.








Rob spent a while with a Wheatear family. Will download his card tomorrow.

While waiting for the ferry, Jill went for a walk along the coast path.






We got home to find Jim had been busy on the path. It's looking really good.
