Near the Point of Buckquoy

The shoreline east of the point in Birsay. A walk from Birsay cemetery along the shore to the Point of Buckquoy then a mile or so further. Pretty breezy, it always makes the flask of coffee that much tastier when I'm tucked into the lee of a rock or cliff. Birds included returning wigeon and purple sandpiper (100 of the former, 1 of the latter), sanderlings, ringed plovers, turnstones etc.
