Island 377 - Carra Island/Oilean na Cara, County Galway

Carra Island (Oilean na Cara in Irish) is a small uninhabited low lying island linked by road causeways to the larger islands of Rusheenacholla and Mweenish a mile to the south of the village of Carna in County Galway.  It is about 200 metres in diameter and is covered in rough grass.  When I visited in May 2017 thrift, bird's-foot trefoil and yellow irises were in flower.
