Saturday Clean up . . .
Another great day & an Island tick! We visited the Island of Mousa in the morning & helped count seals & pups - a real priviledge! During the visit we spotted a large flock of Common Eider & the elusive King Eider amongst them. Later in the afternoon after lunch in The Peerie Cafe in Lerwick (my favourite lunching spot!), we looked for the Ring-neckd Duck again. Whilst scanning the Tingwall Loch & Tufted Duck flocks a bird flew in to join them - at last we had caught up with another Shetland tick.
