Hoy

Brooding
Hoy island
guarding Scapa FLow,
dominating all of southern
Orkney.

This is the last of my Orkney Elfje. I will be away again from tomorrow until 15th June but, as last time I have pre-scheduled Elfje to cover this period. However I will probably not able to access the Internet so comments will not be approved until my return.

Backed Whale
thrashing tail, distressed
trapped by lobster creels
rescued.

A detailed account of this encounter appears today on my blog ‘By The Wobbly Dum-Dum Tree’. There are also a couple of clips on Youtube. Look for ‘Orcan Adventures Whale Rescue’ and ‘Skipper Frees 40ft Humpback Whale’
