3rd April – We are enjoying an extended spell of glorious weather. Today we popped up to Happy Valley. Spring is later here than further sooth but it is on the way. The daffodils here are still dominant but the bluebells are starting to show, we’re looking forward to a great display in a week or so.
8th April – Perfect day for spotting fins but unfortunately nothing but these two kayakers braving the tidal current.
9th April – We seem to being getting more and more exotic avian visitors. These two cranes have been resident in Twatt for around a week now. Photo by Aiden Semmens, Stromness poet and writer.
18th April – We had the unusual sight of a pod of orca in the harbour this morning. They very rarely enter Hamnavoe as there is a lot of ship traffic and no food. So this was a rare occurrence.
29th April – It’s been a lovely month, plenty of sunny days, but we don’t seem to have taken many photos.
I still do Shorewatches most days and found this chap at the site this afternoon. He ought to get a phone with a camera, so much easier.
