I was in Lerwick doing a big shop and afterwards tried to find my own birds but didn't find anything at all. The midges were out in force all day long from dawn until dusk. I can't cope with them, so returned home and got several essential jobs done indoors. It was torture just hanging the washing out, getting it in later and taking the rubbish out – can't wait for midge season to be over! 🙏
