Another driving day today, this time to the north west coast and some of the higher profile tourist sites – Stenness Standing Stones, Ring of Brodgar (more standing stones), Yesnaby coast, Skara Brae pre historic village and Skaill House, Marwick Head Kitchener Memorial and bird nesting site, and the a circuit back around the north coast to Kirkness.
The weather was kind again, we managed to avoid the worst of the congestion from two cruise boats in port busing folk to various places, the coastal views were spectacular and the countryside was interesting…and amongst the other sea birds nesting at the sites we visited were more puffins😀 Below is a slightly ungainly landing.
Tomorrow it’s off to Westray on an early ferry for a nature tour.
