Fab few hours on Egilsay 🥰 #orkney #beautifulviews

Looking forward to giving this another coat of limewash to cheer it up but tbh it's not doing badly given its 11 years old and on Egilsay, Orkney and exposed. Also looking forward to sampling this 17th c. harl for thin section. Look cold. #LimeFinishes #LimeMortar #ClimateChange

A little video I’ve made of our time here in Orkney volunteering with the RSPB on the islands Egilsay and Rousay. A worthwhile experience for anyone with an interest in nature conservation, who would like to learn practical skills and explore the Orkney islands. 🌱

Scanning on the isle of Egilsay today. Nice to see some traditional native type cows thriving outside. #ultrasoundscanning #beef365

Quick trip back from Egilsay, via Wyre and Rousay. #orkney #enjoythemoment

Life as a Mobile Library driver in #Orkney can have its ups and downs. Often at the same time. 🌊

This was #BookyMcBookface our Mobile Library travelling back from Egilsay this afternoon.

Tomorrow, 16 April, in (pick a year from 1115-1118), Magnús Erlendsson, Earl of #Orkney , was killed by his cousin and co-earl Hákon Pálsson, on the island of #Egilsay , at what was supposed to be a peace meeting. 1/9

Egilsay, Orkney 17th c. Aggregate/binder are made from maerl a calcareous algae. Images show the relationship between the bedding material and the harl: this shows up really well in thin section. It says much of the understanding of covering masonry and presentation by the masons

Absolutely beaut to be back at RSPB Onziebust on Egilsay today with vickyjanderson looking at species-rich grassland and management for waders - even with the wind! Planning my next trip back already

The artwork lies on the flanks of Kirfea Hill at the northeastern corner of the island, with views north to the island of Westray and east to Egilsay (sunlit in this picture).

So..this is a first...Looking for the 1st peesie/teeick nest from the patio in my slippers. This ain't no April fool #egilsay RSPB Scotland #lazyfieldwork
