Sandness Havn No. 2

This time I managed to drag both of the kiddoes out for a spot of birdwatching at Sandness Havn. Aisya took along her breadcrumbs to feed the hungry ducks while Ali decided to bring along his PnS digital camera which has probably seen the light of day twice if not less.

The three of us of course each has completely different agenda today : Aisya to escape Mommy's chore day, Ali to make up the MacD lunch that he missed last week and Daddy to get better capture of the Goldeneye. Sometime in the unexpectedly cold minus 3 degree C temperatures, we managed to overlap our different agendas with some family birdwatching ... close-up views of the basking (not sure if basking qualifies here, though it was sunny, it's -3 deg C!) cormorant, dashing views of the ducks, coots and swans.

Not so good video quality of the Goldeneye on FB.
