Island 122 - Ynys Faelog, Anglesey, Wales

Ynys Faelog is a small tidal island located just off the south east coast of Anglesey at the town of Menai Bridge.  There is a tidal causeway to Ynys Faelog on the north side of the island but it had a big No Entry sign.  I think that part of the island is owned/managed? by Bangor University's School of Ocean Sciences.  

At the south end of the island there is a concrete pedestrian walkway, which can be accessed from St George's Road in Menai Bridge, which looked to be above the high tide level.  This did not have a No Entry notice, so I walked across it.  At low tide the island doesn't look its best - lots of mud surrounding it.  When I visited it was pouring with rain and nowhere looks its best in that kind of weather!  There was also a large amount of dog mess on the rocks and on the walkway at the island end.  I didn't venture far onto the island.   There is at least one house on the island, maybe more.  I couldn't tell if this was one house or 2:
