4th November – OIC have bought a new passenger ferry for the Westray to Papa Westray route. It is, currently, in Stromness for trials and training. Here it is passing through Hoy Sound. It’s a very sleek looking little boat, we must try it out when it goes into service.
13th November – We thought we’d take a trip out to Birsay to watch the waves and look for groatie buckies. The waves obliged but the groatie buckies didn’t.
17th November – The recent stormy weather has prevented our getting out much but I was able to do a Shorewatch this morning, didn’t see any cetaceans but enjoyed an aerial display from these Oystercatchers and migratory Turnstones.
25th November – We haven’t made many posts this month, this November hasn’t been very photogenic, but I don’t think there’s anything as inviting as a chip shop window on a dreich day.
26th November – Storm Arwen has landed this morning, 70 mph winds, driving rain. We’re staying indoors today!
28th November – Our first snow of the winter. Hoy always looks good with a white overcoat.
A leaden sky shows off this snowman well. It looks like the kids that made it scarpered before the weather turned.
