Fair Isle - Arrival
The Team Arrives - Fri 28 Sep 12
The two traveling teams made the RV at Tingwall Airfield in good time for the flight to Fair Isle, scheduled for 1430, having traveled to Shetland Mainland by either air from Inverness or the ferry from Aberdeen.
Following the team arrival at FIBO the team took over their rooms, dumped their kit and, after the welcome briefing, legged it out for quick tour of the island in the remaining available light.
Although only out on the ground for two hours much was seen the highlights being: Fair Isle Wren, Great Skua and Olive-backed Pipit. A cheeky Twite also welcomed our arrival greeting us from an adjacent gate top.
Sat 29 Sep will be the team's first full day on the island and expectations are high...
