July 3, 2024 Vigur Island

Years ago a young couple somehow bought this island by promising to build a house and live there. We were here in 2021. It was great then and at least as good today. This couple has built at least one other structure. But the focus is birds.

Let’s try another puffin photo.

There also eider ducks. The couple collects the duck down and sells it to be used in expensive coats and blankets.

But the most vicious bird is the Arctic Tern. They attack people walking. I was hit but had a hat on. Holding a stick can cause them to stay away.

There are also Arctic Terns and guillemots like this one.

Then we were served a dessert.
