Yes we started early with the lighthouseing. That was not really our doing, as the trip was organised by the "Association of Lighthouse Keepers" (ALK) and it depended on the wardens on the island to a degree.
The island is a nature reserve and only inhabited part of the year and then only by a team of wardens. Other than that ... chickens, rabbits and GULLS ...
We had to walk through the gull colony. Have you ever seen 10000s of gulls only interested in finding a mate and the best nest site? Well we found out why they had recommended we bring a hat.
But the gulls were not really disturbed by us. They didn't seem to mind at all.
Those clouds would have made for a gorgeous sunset shot.
I totally agree! We would have loved to have stayed for that, but we had to get off the island with the tide and that meant leaving at lunch time :rolleyes:
We see this island on our daily walks and even though it is on the Welsh side of the River Severn and we are on the English side, the sunsets are the same. They are just beautiful around here.
