This is the second day on Tory Island and as I had so many photographs I have divided them into 2 posts, the first one today and the second one on Monday. Even dividing the photographs in two, I still had a lot so I put them into a slide show both days. A video will follow the slide shows at the end. The first shot is was taken when I first got up.
Chris and I got up at 5.00am to see if we could see the Corncrakes and although we heard all 4 we still did not see any. Having had breakfast with Chris, I went down to the pier to see him leave on the ferry. Unfortunately, the weather was not as kind to him on this trip and most of the people were sick although Chris wasn't.
So join me as I walk around a different part of the island and see the birds and amazing scenery. I do not think it needs anymore explanation.
Hooded Crow
Now sit back and enjoy the SLIDE SHOW which can be
accessed at
If there is a black space below, click it and the slide
show will appear.
I have put together a video below and I would ask you to remember that I was on top of very tall cliffs, the wind was blowing hard and I was only about a foot from the edge trying to get these clips so some of them will be shaky and some a bit out of focus, however I think they are worth showing you as it will give you a better idea of the whole island.

Thank you for visiting.
Many thanks for comments on any of my posts.
the crows are quite striking.
ReplyDeleteMargaret I don't believe my eyes yet another reflection. One can reflect too much.
ReplyDeleteOne bird there looks like a Killdeer. One of my favorites is the little white house with the red trim. Hey, if you go through the boat pictures fast, it is chugging along and looks like a video!
ReplyDeleteBeautifl photos and videos!
ReplyDeleteAnother fascinating day on Tory Island ... thanks for sharing your beautiful photos :) Wendy x
ReplyDeleteThe hooded crow is so unique! Enjoy your weekend and bring back some photos to share with us. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a place Margaret. Those cliffs are just amazing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos of the sea shore and birds. Looks like a wonderful part of the world.
ReplyDeleteSuch an amazing place. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThat second image is stunning Margaret. I can see I will have to schedule in some time to revisit your blog and have a more leisurely viewing! Thank you for sharing your beautiful country and its birds. Happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteI very much enjoyed both the slide show and the video. The point of land in your second photo is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteAwesome post, Margaret! I love the scenery and the birds. Wonderful videos.. Thanks for sharing your link with Saturday's Critter party. Have a happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteI'm getting caught up with your Tory Island posts. I didn't recognize the significance until you introduced us to the King. I remember him from watching one of our travel shows here in the US.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the slideshow and the video. I would have been crawling toward that edge and laying down to take this video. You are brave to stand so close to the edge. Beautiful island!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the videos and it is fun to hear your accents..another superb post :-).
ReplyDeleteHi Margaret, I enjoyed both the slideshow and the video. It was very brave of you to sit so close to the edge.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pics and video thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wild and beautiful island this looks to be. I can see how the seas could be rather unkind to this little boat. Great slide show and video! Enjoyed the both.
ReplyDeleteHi Margaret!
ReplyDeleteYour second picture is phenomenal.
I am delighted with it.
Greetings.
Both the slide show and the video were wonderful! I enjoyed seeing the water birds foraging, and that rock formation is a beautiful, glorious thing! How lovely your day must have been on Tory Island!
ReplyDeleteOK--not Iceland, but Northern Ireland? So fascinating! I love getting to see this part of the world with you!
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking me along to this beautiful place! Great photos!
