Description: "Best Island...Isolation? No! - Fascination? Yes! - Attractions aplenty to keep boredom at bay. A bird-watcher's delight - thirty and more bird species, their habits and challenges. Varied seascapes, fragile salt weeds, twice-daily tidal flows that mirror ever-changing cloud patterns. A hundred and fifty people, three generations, with widely varying talents, opinions and nationalities. Distant mountains - vistas changing with the seasons. Nature has moulded the island's life, keenly observed by the author and appreciative visitors. You too can share this hidden paradise."--Publisher's description.
