CHRISTMAS EVE, SHETLAND BIRD NEWS & MORE!

Rare  Bird  Alert  News

No news today.

But incredible news of a Yellow Warbler at New Hythe in Kent today! That would have created a few domestic issues on Christmas Eve! 😉

Another very busy day at work. Lovely to see lots of staff wearing Christmas adornments today! I made an effort with my tinsel hair scrunchie and owl Christmas badge. I was so tired when I got home from all last night's shenanigans, I couldn't do anything but fall asleep. Didn't even cook tea. Not exactly a fun Christmas Eve, but had a lovely video call with Vivien and Ray and then a phone call with Lucy. The heating in Lucy's flat was sorted at 7.30am this morning – for now anyway!

Lucy will be walking across to the main care home to have her Christmas lunch with others tomorrow, which I guess she will be nervous about as she won't know anyone. "Chef Raymond" (Ray) and Vivien (who may wash up if Ray is lucky!!! 😉😘) are having Christmas lunch on their narrow boat. We are all planning to attempt a Zoom call later – if everyone's internet link works, it will be a miracle! Me? Sorting out the empty bird feeders, I might do some flat packing, go for a walk, cook whatever I feel like, don't know yet! 🎄 The weather is going to be dreich here tomorrow. The best day over my five day break is Boxing Day. Sleet forecast next week.

Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year

To my Family, Friends and Readers

 

Wishing you all a happy and joyful time with your families. If you are spending the day alone as many people are, try and see it in a positive light, no stress, choice of doing whatever you wish, eating whatever you want and when, watching your choice of TV, radio or simply doing nothing at all! Go for a walk, go birding, immerse yourself in nature. Have a happy day 😊

Sending a 🤗 to everyone

Love and Best Wishes
