The gift of two summers
There are Arctic Terns fishing in uneven seas off Papa Westray.
Their concentration skills are immense:
Arctic Terns spend the northern summer with us and fly to spend the southern summer at the ends of the Earth from us. That means they see more sunlight than any other living thing on Earth.
Their migratory flight takes them over one and a half million miles in their thirty year life. That’s the Earth to the Moon and back three times over.
I love them to the moon and back. Three times over.
