Title: Eide - Birds and cliffs

[<< Prev Post] | [Next Post >>]
[Back to Index/Map]

This afternoon Guy and I left Ann snoozing and went up the 352m Eldiskollur.

We were buzzed by parasitic skuas, a whole family of exotic birds.

From near the top you could look 1,000 ft down at these remarkable sea stacks.

A long way down.
