25th February 2019 Yell W2 Clear

On leaving our house I saw my first Lesser Black-backed Gull of the year - a smart adult walking the field in front of ours. After the early morning mist had cleared it was a beautiful day to be walking the hills on Yell where I saw my first displaying Curlews of the year and small groups of Oystercatchers chasing each other around calling. Spring is slowly arriving!
