Be prepared in Fair Isle

Here are boots in the boot room at the bird observatory. The terrain is okay but you need to do a lot of walking to see things.  It rains a lot so the land can be quite boggy. And there are rabbit droppings, and sheep droppings etc everywhere. We have been so lucky with the weather for the last two days. This afternoon two cruise ships called in.  Over 100 tourists descended on the island.  The locals set up a craft fair and yummy afternoon tea and the cruise people all wore red jackets.  On the hill where we saw puffins yesterday today all you could see were red coats!  Very funny.  We also went to that South lighthouse.  I loved this ... I am here to see lighthouses.
