The crystal planting work I did last week involved beautiful chrysocolla crystals and took me out onto the west coast of mainland Orkney. The photographs below show some of the stunning scenary and place of planting - the one with my boots in - I had to sit down to both plant the crystal and take the photo as the the cliff edge was sheer into the sea.
On the same outing I also had a scary encounter with a very protective Great Skua who proceeded to dive bomb me when I inadvertently strayed too near its nest. Not to be recommended - these are beautiful but powerful birds and it made direct contact with my rucksack which I used to protect my head and neck at last six times as I crouched to the ground for each attack and then staggered a bit further until it rounded on me again. Once I was out of its territory it proceeded to ignore me thank goodness I am sure it would have looked very comical to any one watching but very frightening to be the one on the receiving end.
