farewell, Carol

And there is a lonely Gander in Shetland (called Robert, For what its worth) . And we think Carol  - the goose that was called Christmas until she decalred her sex -  would make a good 'friend' for Robert. 

So we caught her, and put her in the dog crate ( with some food, of course) and  took her to Hatston

And then to Northlink 

 and for £10.30 she is transported to Lerwick . 

And the crate needs to come back . But now it will be freight - £30 . 

So if someone is comgin back from Shetland to Orkney on the Ferry, and can put a collapsed dog crate in their car we would be very grateful . 

She is , isnt she ?

At the end of last year we had Zena , the Shetland ewe, in a field with Boris, one of Boreray rams.
 

Zena is of fairly 'mature years' . Boris is just a lad.  He followed her round the field like a love-struck  Benjamin Braddock ( played by Dustin Hoffman) to  Mrs Robinson ( Anne Bancroft)  in The Graduate.


She seemed to spurn his every advance.

But she has been getting wider as the weeks progress.
Here are some pictures
