SHETLAND DAY 13

Had a lie-in this morning as I was shattered. The weather was a bit better when I got up and the sun was out!. News came out just after lunch that a Cedar Waxwing had been found on the Scilly Isles by Will Wagstaff. Five of the lads needed it, so I dropped them at the airport at 3.30pm so they could get off the island and hopefully see the bird tomorrow. That now leaves just three of us, so we headed out again down south for the last few hours of daylight.
