I've been having problems with some of the links not showing, or the archive or comments links only being visible when the cursor is hovered over them, so bare with me and the blue template, until I can get it sorted - I prefer the black version !


Today wasn't really a wildlife day as my kids were taking part in a trampolining comp' down on Yell.  However, this morning when I opened the back door to feed the birds, despite the wind, it felt like spring is just around the corner. On the hills and fields behind our bungalow, I could hear curlew giving out their truly evocative 'bubbling' song, golden plover were flying around giving out their mournful piping call it was all truly uplifting after two weeks of snow and ice.
