Chris and Mara - Thanks for lovely days at Orkney islands!
I have been at Orkney, but just a short visit on a Interrail trip togehter with my friend Maria Storgärds 1981!! When I get invited to attend Chris and Maras wedding at Papa Westray so was the choice not difficult. I stayed for a week and have lovely days together with friends from Doñana 2010, new friends and of course a lot of birds. Here - a photostory of trip

Kirkwall, Orkney mainland.. |
The first day I was alone and rent a bike for a trip Southwest from Kirkwall. It was amazing to have Skuas and Fulmars around my head like mosquitos.
