It was raining when I got the bus from Berwick-upon-Tweed to Holy Island where I spent a few hours. Unfortunately, it was damp and very windy all day - but I still managed to see some interesting things before getting the bus back to Berwick at around 4.00 pm.
Lindisfarne Castle on top of a small steep hill
Two Ringed Plovers on the beach
The markers on the land opposite Holy Island
Oystercatchers on the wet beach
Pretty pink Clematis in Gertrude Jekyll's garden
A thistle-like flower in the garden
Sheep sheltering from the strong wind
Fluffed-up male Reed Bunting on the edge of a tree
Female Roe deer
and with a male
Sheep with black heads
Blackbird parking warden!
Swallows landing on the narrow road while feeding
and joined by a Pied Wagtail
Huge Gorilla outside the takeaway - a very strange animal to find on Holy Island!
