I’ve been looking at these three islands for a while now on the map and from the shore, so today I fished out the drone and kayak and decided to finally get around to seeing what’s on them. If anyone else has been similarly curious here’s what you’ll find:

Unnamed island off Black Mountain Peninsula:

On the island it’s a small area with dense tree cover and little undergrowth.

Spinnaker Island:

On the island it’s mainly low dry grass cover with a few trees around the edge and a lot of seagulls. Quite a lot of dead seagulls too, and a few young gulls at the end of fledging stage so I didn’t explore very much.

Springbank Island:

This larger island also has a fair amount of low dry grass cover with trees around the perimeter. In addition though it has a dock for boats, a selection of picnic tables (some in open sun, some in shady areas), an undercover picnic area, a barbecue, and even toilets. It did look to be a nice place to bring some lunch to in warmer parts of the year.
