Four more beautiful labradorite emu eggs have been planted here in Orkney, programmed to strengthen the immunity of all in their wake. These crystals are being placed in connection with the ongoing challenges avian flu is presenting to breeding sea birds in particular.
One was placed to Marwick head in the vicinity of a newly establishing gannet colony, one to a fulmar breeding area at Skaill and another to a similar site at Yesnaby, both of which I’ve been visiting for years, and one on the East Mainland at Hoxa head. This fourth crystal was placed near breeding black guillemots or tysties as they are known in Orkney. This planting also felt key in a wider context, as the cliffs at this site are at the entrance point to Scapa Flow. A wide variety of cetaceans are regularly seen here and we had good view of a minke whale whilst we were there this time. It is also opposite a point of gathering of harbour porpoise which takes place each autumn in Switha Sound.
Planting crystals in this way feels such an incredible gift, not only in getting to visit these amazing sites but also to be able to support such a great variety of wildlife in the wake of the huge environmental challenges and change taking place across the planet at this time.
