While the other birds are still thinking about it.
While some have not even arrived yet.
The Ravens are getting on with it.
Fingers crossed for seven more to come.

That's the Papay Tour bus back on the island after it's regular winter service. All ready for the tour season. Papay tours start at the beginning of April, looking forward to a sunny, Puffin filled summer.
Thanks to Orkney ferries, and the Papay pier staff.

Papay's only amphibians (non-native) are popping their heads above the waterline, to see if Spring has arrived.
Frog heaven at the Sink O' The Mull.

A brittle cold day. Where the sand may as well have been snow.
Only saved by the colour of the sea, the arrival of the last plane of the day, and a Short-eared owl at Sunnybraes.
