The only brick built house – built for the Clarks (shoes)

The church bell – moved and now in a rather ignominious position

The War Memorial is a pile of rocks

image Eider ducks

While the weather was wet and windy I saw lots of wildlife: as well as the eider duck I saw shelduck, a heron, curlew (or whimbrel?), ferral geese, red breasted merganzers (a first for me), a flock of goldfinch.  And the lovely smell of gorse.

A milestone – the road around the island is 56 miles
