This female Wheatear has brownish-orange cheeks, a grey-brown eye stripe and crown, and a pale-orange-flushed breast. She is perching on a rock with a metered-out, blue-sky background. Taken on a bonny day on Papa Westray in September this year.

And here are some photos of the Papay School Visitor Book boxes at St Tredwell's Chapel and Knap of Howar #PapaWestray. Nearly lost the inserts in both places in strong winds, but all was well. The dog Bess supervised my visit to the Knap. @ragnasislands.bsky.social
The erstwhile post office in Papa Westray, with a sign saying 'Island crafts and Post Office', a postbox in the doorway, and a sign on the door saying 'Post Box stll in use'.
A doorway with a postbox and a sign on the door saying 'Post Box still in use'
The post office is no longer, but the post box is still in use! (and I used it) #PapaWestray #PostboxSaturday
A new sign for the shop and hostel in Papa Westray, with remnants of the old sign for the Scottish Youth Hostels Association.
A new sign for St Boniface (Kirk), Papa Westray, with the splendid old mid-20th century (?) sign for St Boniface Church behind it.
What I like in #PapaWestray is that they keep the old signs even when getting fine new ones. Obviously a job lot of those red plastic letters once upon a time.
A long stone wall with a stile to the left and a gate to the right. St Boniface Kirk in the distance.
Gate or stile? Take your pick #PapaWestray
A stile in a fence on Papa Westray with a large mound behind it.
A stile without a fence on Papa Westray, with an archaeological site eroding into the sea behind it.
Here we find both archaeological stilin' and combined archaeological/recreational stilin'. Munkerhoose, #PapaWestray For the archaeology, see www.trove.scot/place/2867

The leaflet for the Papay School Visitor Book Box Trail (explained in the following post).
When you come to #PapaWestray #Orkney take the ferry from #Westray and stop off in the waiting room first. There you can see a really cool installation by @papayranger.bsky.social and Saoirse Higgins. And pick up this lovely leaflet made by the children of Papay Community School (see next post). 1/2
