Wednesday Walk towards Eiđi

Breakfast at 7:00, out at 8.15 and a hard slog up behind the hostel. Good flowers, loads of spotted orchids, sorrel, club moss, arctic mouse-ear chickwood, glacier buttercup, St Johns wort (miniature), Starry saxifrage (S.stellaris), common tormentil, alpine lady's mantle, thrift, eyebright, thyme leaved speedwell, common butterwort, selfheal, thyme.

Long slog to the cliffs where we saw the witch and giant stacks, then all the way back for 13.15.

Dive bombed by arctic skuas because of the baby, which we saw huddled in the grass. Saw another baby, later, a gray ball of down running around. Snipe were also flying around making their Sonar type sound
