Scotland Highlight #1 Treshnish Isles

In june went up to the West coast of Scotland one of the highlights was a trip to the islands first trip was to Lunga which is a super seabird colony with the Puffins so near people were taking pictures with smartphones!! A great place to walk around with wildlife everywhere with Guillemots, Razorbills and Puffin going in and out constantly and Kittiwakes and Fulmar around the edge and on land lots of Rock Pipits and Wheatears breeding and the odd flock of Twite which briefly showed. Two hours was never enough time to spent on this island with the sounds and sights going on but did manage to get to the top of the island to get a view out to see and see how next destination the Isle of Staffa more on that later in the week.
