Have leaving Lunga the next stop was a visit to the island of Staffa where we visited Fingal's Cave which is mainly made of the hexagonal basalt columns which were around this part of the island.
The last stop of the day was a stop to the Island of Iona well know for its Abbey and plenty of sandy beach walked quite a bit around it where you could hear the Corncrakes calling another bird which was heard but not seen but a great spring song. Walked along a few of the beaches with a few wader nesting mainly Oystercatcher, Ringed Plovers and a few Rock Pipits on the beaches and Common and Arctic Terns feeding offshore.
