The weather has really improved, yesterday's strong
breeze has dropped but the sun is still here.
We are anchored in a small enclosed bay on
Aedey, with only just enough water to get in at low
tide.
 This is another little island with a farm on it, we
rather think that they farm tourists, as well as sheep, geese, horses and
cows. We walked round the island and then as we were eating supper in
the cockpit their ferry boat came in and took about 30 tourists away.
Where had they been? We had not seen them on the island.
This is another bird island. Lorna had to wipe my
jacket and wash my hat after I tried to take photos from the top of a
hill. A full scale tern attack. You can understand where Hitchcock
got "The Birds" from.
The others are more friendly
 Black guillemots swimming round the
boat.
They woke us early wandering around the cabin
roof.
 Lots of puffins on the rocks and rafted out
at sea.
 A puffin chick ran across ahead and down this
hole.
It then sat quite happily just
inside.
