Orkney Isles still ...

Spent the next day walking, riding bikes, seeing iron age brochs (kinda round forts), crossing a tidal causeway to see Viking long house ruins and finished the day with a cliff top walk in the evening where we saw thousands and thousands of nesting kittiwakes and guillemots (but no puffins unfortunately) and the odd fulmar and other unidentified birds. Ve bought a Scottish bird book a week ago and we’ve both had fun trying to identify birds.

Very amusing moment of riding bikes along a cliff path, bumping across the stones with Vera singing her own version (new words) of Doe-a-deer ala Sound of Music :D
