Beautiful Orkney - "Not on everyones bucket list" as the lady who checked us in at Gatwick wryly observed but I love it none the less
Staying on the East Mainland meant revisiting some favourite haunts and plenty of beachcombing with the not very well hidden intention of bagging a Groatie Buckie or 10!
The sound of oyster catchers and curlew replaced the familiar song birds we usually wake to and a quick peek out of the window meant we were able to check the tide line on the beach.

A 'Groatie Buckie' (Atlantic Cowrie) said to bring luck and avidly hunted for by locals and tourists alike
I am planning a few projects based on the fantastic wildlife we spotted during our stay so watch this space!
