1st February – It’s that time of year when the farmers need to cull the migrant greylag geese. Every winter thousands arrive and eat the shoots of the new crops. The farmers are allowed to shoot some to keep the numbers down.
The benefits are nice tasty burgers, the drawback is that the steel shot plays havoc with the dentures.
2nd February – A lovely day for a stroll down to the Pole Star pier where the fishing gear is stacked ready for the season. A bit of sunshine creating a colourful scene.
9th February – As Storm Ciara batters the rest of the country we have been spared the worst. A typical Orkney day here, a bit breezy but nice enough. Went for the usual shore walk and admired the resilience and determination of the local golfers to get a game in.
12th February – Wintry showers overnight have left a trace of snow on the high ground. Don’t think I’ll bother getting the skis out just yet.
13th February – What a difference a day makes. A very cold night has added a bit more snow on the Hoy hills.
