What a different a little sunshine and warmth makes. This week Kirkwall has suddenly boomed with visitors. The cruise liners are now calling every week and the main street is full of people looking in shops or simply enjoying the atmosphere. The tour guides are starting to get busy again. Above is a photograph of St Magnus Cathedral with a tour group just outside the door. For Orkney, you could call this crowded.
Round the corner at the Bishop's Place it was a little quieter. Oh, and by the way we have more trees than many people think on Orkney. In Kirkwall, Stromness and Finstown there are a number of small rookeries. The birds are quite raucous and over the last few weeks have been nesting. It's been quite an art to avoid being hit by 'little presents' as you pass by.
