Puffins

We had a scheduled trip with Shetland Seabird Tours (again, I strongly recommend them - www.shetlandseabirdtours.com) for later in the week, but the forecast wasn’t looking good. So, Phil Harris, the skipper, got in touch and we rearranged to our first full day on the island. We were lucky with clear blue skies and calm water conditions as we set off mid-morning. It wasn’t long before we started to notice seabirds on the water, the first being Guillemots and Black Guillemots. Further along we were joined by a hungry Great Skua looking for food which was duly provided, and a Fulmar joined in for scraps.
