STV – An Aberdeenshire couple are heading for one of the best – if most remote – birdwatching jobs in the world. David and Susannah Parnaby, from Ellon, will run the new Fair Isle observatory from next spring. The couple, and their 16-month-old daughter Grace, will be heading to the island, which is half-way between Shetland and Orkney and has a population of just 70. Almost 50 people from across Europe applied for the post, and the couple were chosen from a shortlist of four who spent a weekend on the island.
