Another look today at the Blue-cheeked Bee-eater at Burray, North Ronaldsay. The very wet weather had it sheltering on an outbuilding, no more than a few metres away. Phone pic!

Blue-cheeked Bee-eater becomes my 300th island bird after dropping back to 296 with the AviList update! What a bird to do it with! Was a nice surprise to see it hunting for bees as we drove past the fence at Burray! Not where Id of predicted it’d turn up!

#FindsFriday The Peedie Pict! This carved ox phalanax depicts the outline of a man, possibly a #Pictish warrior. It was found at the #IronAge site of Bu Sands on the island of Burray, #Orkney. It's most likely a gaming piece.
Peedie (or peerie) is the Orcadian word for small!

A #Viking necklace 📿
Twisted silver neck ring from the Burray (Orkney) Hoard, deposited c. 997-1010 in a wooden bowl.
The hoard's 140+ (!) pieces weigh 1.9kg, making it the 3rd heaviest Viking-Age hoard in Scotland after Skaill and Galloway.
