Rewilding the Isle of the Thundergod
Thank you!
A sandy peninsula apparently anchors one component island to another in the two-island Thunder-God island. Online sources bare as land cover granite-veined metamorphic rock, heathland, machair grassland and peatland. They characterize machair grassland as clustering wildflowers.
Owners Adam and Cathra Kelliher designate, on their Borve Lodge Estate site, as native species desirable for island reintroduction Scottish alder, ash and willow.
No information there or anywhere else emerges regarding the location and the species of the lone thunder-god island tree!
So your rowan suggestion, particularly with your suggested seed-dispersing birds, sounds logically-est likely-est!
(Would the nearest land to Thunder-God island host rowan trees?)
