Took a last look at the babes before heading off for our trip, they have grown loads. As I told you on the other blog, the nest is in the slurry pit at the back of the byre. We have now taken off some of the concrete slabs and floated a piece of ply on the slurry so with luck and a following wind they should make it out some time soon.

We are off on the boat tonight and will be driving down to Rye on the south coast of England. We'll stop for the weekend with friends in Derbyshire.

Should be back up in Shetland on the 7th. So ttfn
