Tory Island - (Part 10)

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.

CLICK HERE if the video does not appear.



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.

  9. The puffins are adorable. We have them off the coast of Maine here and just maybe I'll get to go see them this summer. I'm hoping anyway. Lovely scenery. Enjoy your day Margaret.

  12. Beautiful 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!
