On
Monday week ago, I took you over to the other side of the island and today I am
showing you some more shots of it. I
pass through West Town and then you will see a flatter part with a small lake
before heading up the steep climb to the top of the cliffs. The photographs are not in order today however I am sure you can work it out.
This
green area was were some of the Puffins were nesting.
(more about that on Saturday’s
post with video).
I
counted over 400 Puffins in the water where I stood and there must have been at
least 100 in their burrows.
The
houses are well maintained on the island and
I found this Rooster behind one of
them.
This
is West town.
Ah
another little dog.
In
the distance this is the lake I mentioned to you however I will show you those
photograph at a later date (possibly next week).
It
is lovely to see Rock Doves in their natural surroundings.
I hope you all made with me up to the top of
the cliffs!!
Not
to near the edge please.
Oh dear, I am one
to talk!!
These
are Fulmar nesting on these ledges however you will see them better on the video
at the end of this post.
I
hope you thought the climb was worth coming up to see the wonderful views.
Although as you heard on the video I was leaving Tory Island however there is still plenty I have to show you still.
Thanks for visiting and also to those who leave comments.
As I've said before a wonderful place.

ReplyDeletebeautiful pictures, and cute puppy, but the Puffins they are my favorite, and I've gotten to see them live in Oregon!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful views and so rugged - the coastline looks treacherous, indeed! So nice to see the nesting sites among the rocks and wildflowers and hear the crashing of the waves on the video. I love the pretty, colorful houses, too!
