King Eider fem. in Scalloway Harbour
Had fabulous close views of the flamboyantly orange and beautifully marked King Eider (fem.) in brilliant sunshine from the pier near the castle this morning. Only got a few photos though, as each time someone turned up and got out of the car, it swam out to the middle of the harbour – it would start to swim back, next car turns up and it retreated again. I could have sat there for hours waiting, but at the end of the day it wasn't a Siberian Rubythroat and I had jobs to do!
King Eider fem. in Scalloway Harbour
Returned home and really enjoyed measuring up and hanging some of my paintings whilst listening to Christmas Carols on Radio 3. Living room paintings all hung, but realise its going to take far longer than I thought to hang the majority of the paintings in the corridor and dining room. Put up the pre-lit Christmas tree but ran out of time to decorate it, so will do this after work tomorrow.
Half an hour ago, I decided to join the Postcode lottery! 🤞
