It's unlikely I know, but just in case anyone has been wondering where the daily updates from Unst were, here is the answer. I had hoped that we would get a phone signal at the chalet, and that I could therefore tether the phone to the laptop and get onto the Internet that way. But no, neither Vodafone nor O2 work anywhere around Baltasound, except for a very occasional weak signal, good enough to deliver a text or an email, but not to send anything. Apparently Orange does work there, but almost nowhere else in Shetland!
Mark has done a couple of blog updates on his phone when we were elsewhere on Unst, but I couldn't be bothered with that. Having now arrived at Rob's house for the next four days, I will either upload the crap I've been writing each night or, more likely, some sort of round-up of the week on Unst.
Or I could just sum it up in one word: windy.

Dunno about you Andy but i be well fucked off with these persistent westerly winds...
What have they done for us...?
Okay...so Ireland has had some good value...and there was 'that' Crane and a few bits on the Scillies...but apart from that...what have the westerlies done for us..?
I contest..."Fuck all"...
ps..and if i see Carol Kirkwood on the BBC smiling about more westerlies to come then i shall put my bastard boot thru the TV screen...[i won't really]...!
"We want easterlies"..."when do we want them"..?
About a week or so ago would have been nice...
Doesn't look like we're going to get any proper easterlies here before we leave on Wednesday. It did go easterly for a while yesterday, but it wasn't really coming from anywhere, and certainly didn't produce any new birds. In fact most of the migrants that were here seem to have taken the opportunity to leave.
Saw the Buff-bellied Pipit at Quendale this afternoon, but nowt else today apart from lots of Redwings. More force 7 westerlies forecast for tomorrow and Tuesday....
