The tides this week have combined with some wind to erode Doun Helzie's dunes and cliffs. I wanted to see the difference between now and 2018 when I first came to Sanday so I found a couple of photos and recreated them

The post I was supposed to put up but kept getting distracted. The news of the island at present is this wreck which has been washed up on the beach. I believe it is thought to date from 1600-1650 but could be behind the times on the knowledge. Check out "Orkney retreats" post. I was also interested that the sea appears to have broken through the dunes in two places. Then Angus our Dog spotted this whale carcass. I have never seen one with blubber on it still. It has been identified as a Fin Whale. Sadly not a whale I have seen live.

I actually have another post to make but again got distracted with differences. I liked the first picture and then looked for the reverse with sand in it. Then carried on. This time it is all Doun Helzie which I normally visit daily and am quite fascinated by. Sorry to bore you.

We walked to Cata sand for the first time since the winter storms and I was a bit shocked at how different the end of the big dunes looked. Annoyingly I don't have photos from the angle I am used to seeing because I tend to take shots from the top but you can see how a mini dune at the bottom has almost completely gone and how all the face of the dune has changed.

Well I can't find a picture of the seal with a net on its neck but I have found some more pictures of perhaps the same seal from 2020. This mum seems to come back to the same place each year. Seal numbers on my local cliffs are stunning this year. They have been going up since I came to Sanday but this year there are at least 4 times as many. I hope this is a good sign. I have been convinced I recognise another seal mum each year. Perhaps this is proof I am better at seal identification than I would expect. (I don't even recognise actresses in a film when they change hair between scenes!)

I was hunting for a picture of a seal with a net on its neck and I found this again today. I had long lost this video and thought I could not have had my camera on the day. Instead I see on 19 April 2018 I just didn't know how to post it to facebook properly. I am therefore reposting it. I have never had such luck since! In fact it is a long time since I have seen an Otter as I normally am walking a dog now. Shame
