Passing the Harbour Light

A breezier day which was inevitable as we are heading north on the ferry back to Shetland. Sunday evening is via Kirkwall in Orkney which I suspect will make for a rougher trip as we will be heading across a north-easterly wind while heading there. The tourists were tucking into a hearty meal little realising what lay ahead - I hope they are ok.

Dolphins were already playing in the harbour when I took this photo but it was too bumpy to hold the camera steady.

52 species of bird this week including 7 new for the year - Yellowhammer, Swift, Long-tailed Tit, Dipper, House Martin, Osprey and Greater Whitethroat.

Sunrise 4:43 and sunset 21:27 in Aberdeen while at home it was 4:20 and 21:44 respectively
