The Latest News hot from Fetlar
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.
Egg Hunt at Fetlar Primary, Friday 14th April 9.30 am.
Pre-school to secondary, all welcome 😀
We traveled down to the 60:40 pitch with BJHS. There were football games and club golf.
In Bonhoga we started working on the new art projects, “The Future, 2317”
It was amazing seeing the exhibition and talking about what it would be like in 300 years.
The mike was called a dead cat because it’s all fluffy!

Thank you to everyone who supported us!
