In the teeth of a gale

Westerly winds are likely to gust to around 70-75mph at times during Friday afternoon and Friday evening across Shetland and northern parts of Orkney, accompanied by some wintry squally showers. During Friday evening the winds are expected to veer northwesterly and decrease. The public are advised to take extra care.

And where do our hens shelter... behind a clump of grass!

Note the one on the right, she's top of the pecking order. You know you've made it when you get a tussock all to yourself.

I know this looks sunny but it was a gap in between hail showers. I wanted to take a pic that showed how windy it is today but anything that would demonstrate it has blown away a long time ago.
