Red Necked Phalenropes

Patrick invited us to come and see the Red Necked Phalenropes as they were returning to Fetlar.

They are a rare breeding bird in the UK and weigh about the same as an apple.

The male birds raise the chicks.

The RSPB protects the breeding grounds and Malcie discovered they spend winter in the Pacific!


Because they are so small it was hard to get a photo with our camera, but Patrick brought scopes so we could see them.

Planting

We planted bulbs and flowers to brighten up the playground.

Potatoes from Crofting Connections

We set up the new bird feeder!

Goodbye Voxter!

Yesterday generation science came to visit and we found out about the smart grid and electricity.

Today we said goodbye to Fair Isle as they were flying early. Foula had to go early too incase there was fog, so we went to swimming lesson and museum by our selves. It was really interesting hearing some of the stories about the displays!
