Despite the lack of birds it was a very enjoyable walk that I might just do again when there's more birds about.
Some pies were acquired halfway round, from Mainlands, but were of a poor quality and a little overpriced.
5th October. Yomp
After a late night, anything after 9pm is late for me, I had a bit of a lie in and finally dragged myself out of bed at 8.30 and mooched around for a while. It was still quite windy outside, but in a moment of madness I grabbed my stuff and headed out. What started off as a wander around the crops ended up in a full scale yomp. Virkie to Boddam to Quendale and back to Virkie which probably covered close on 12 miles. And the birds? One Jack Snipe at Boddam and a Whitethroat halfway up Quendale. So despite what you might read on the pager it's not really overrun with birds common, scarce or rare!

Can only agree with you about the Mainland Stores pies this year - we called in a couple of times on our 4 day trip, but no macaroni or tattie & bean pies, sadly. Their rolls are ok tho, in a pinch! Hope the birds turn up for you soon - forecast lookin good anyway!
Good skills Mark. I doff my cap to you sir.
