It's been a bit quieter as we wind down after a really successful year. Over 500 guests and we are still on 9.3 on booking.com!
We have done a bit of local birding, as the winter visitors are coming in and some migrants are passing through. There are also over 100 twite on the local patch
Today, after guest breakfast, we headed to Unst as a Chestnut Bunting was seen Sunday evening, at Baltasound. It was still there. We had a problem with a ferry that didn't go, knocking out our onward to Unst , but we got there at lunchtime.it had been showing well on the path until we arrived!
It then took a while to be found again, but it was Jill that found it in a ruined barn.
It then bounced around and was then refound under trees in the old garden.
It was with a bonus bird, a red flanked blue tail
Just as we were thinking of heading out, the bunting showed again
What a smart bird.
