Island 428 - Small Island, County Galway

Small Island lives up to its name, as it is indeed small - about 50 metres in diameter. It is a small island located on the south side of Killary Harbour close to its eastern end and a mile north west of the village of Leenaun.  The island is covered in rough grass, sedge and gorse bushes with a few rhododendrons.  It is separated from the mainland by about 10 metres of seaweed covered rocks.    It is obviously visited by the sheep who reside in the adjacent field, as I followed the path they had made through the seaweed to get onto the island.
