| This was our honeymoon and
what a spectacular place to spend it! We toured right round the island,
seeing some amazing scenery and huge numbers of birds. 19 species were new
to us and particularly pleasing were Barrow's goldeneye, gyrfalcon, harlequin
(an indigenous species), ptarmigan and red necked phalarope. If it weren't
for the ridiculous cost of everything, this would be a regular destination
for us. One night, when funds were running low, we resorted to sharing a
large take-away pizza between us and that cost £8 (in 1988!). |
