Beautiful day with my son Henry over the bank holiday weekend.
Great to have him home even if the time is to short and goes far to fast.
We do try to make the best of it.

Tawny Pipit! Lifer! Fair Isle Tick!
 |
| Tawny Pipit It's a Lifer and a Fair Isle Tick for me!
I was driving back from the Fair Isle landing strip, where my son just headed out late for school after a morning of fog. A car was stopped in the middle of the road, I could see the passenger had his binoculars up looking at something? I couldn't see it? I was chequeing the sky for the Osprey I had hear about at the plane... then I saw a big pale pipit in the grass? I has told it was probably a Tawny or maybe a Richard's Pipit? good thing I didn't beep! like so many people do to me when I'm looking at a bird... I didn't have my bins or camera with me at the time. (I always live to regret that.) The bird flew away with out a positive ID. Refound later by the FIBO staff who called me and I got better views and photographs! hooray!
