Rare Bird Alert News

Today I made Rhubarb Crumble from the BBC Good Food website with Rhubarb from my garden! I added a teaspoon of Cinnamon to the crumble too and cooked it in the Ninja Air Fryer on bake for 180° for 17 minutes – in a conventional oven it would have been 30 minutes. This was scrumptious with Mackie's ice-cream!

particularly boisterous today), pair of Blackbirds, Robin, Collared Doves

Lambs settling down for a night's sleep
Its been gloomy and rainy weather today, the complete opposite of yesterday. I drove to Banna Minn Beach late this afternoon – this is one of Shetland's most beautiful beaches, set along the
west side of a stunning tombolo leading out to the Kettla Ness
peninsula, the southernmost part of West Burra. There was a Great Northern Diver on the sea and 33 Ringed Plovers on the beach, along with 2 Oystercatchers. Lots of cute baby lambs frolicking in the fields. Lovely weekend.
