Woke up in too much pain to continue sleeping, so got up and took more pain relief, had a hot chocolate and marmalade on toast and then went back to bed and woke up insanely late. Robin in the garden again. Crappy weather. Received a lovely birthday card from Pete Snook, thank you! Tengmalm's Owl has gone or relocated, maybe its headed over to Lea Gardens? This is where the last one was in 2019?! Wouldn't it be fabulous if it was the same bird?!
 
Previous records of Tengmalm's Owl in Shetland from the fabulous previous records resource from RBA:
 
I had a record 26 Collared Doves descend into the garden in one go after throwing down a load of bird seed, meal worms and sultanas.
