The "merry/mirrie dancers" can be often and easily seen on Annie's Place shoreline on Birsay Bay from early Autumn until late March. Of course there are no guarantees that the Aurora will appear at a specific time, but when it does occur the brilliant colours change from shades of green to pinks and purples with stars shining in between. The sounds of waves splashing on the shoreline of Birsay Bay add an additional element of excitement to the drama high above. The photos below have been taken over the past year. Enjoy....and maybe we can welcome you here in the hope of sharing such brilliant scenes!
