As part of the recent short week in Scotland for Birders Tour we went on a short boat trip. Although the wind had been worryingly high in preceding days the bay where we sailed was sheltered. Gannets, Basking Sharks, Great Skuas, all the Auks including Black Guillemot were present … at close range.
You would have thought that with the addition of two White tailed Eagles and a Golden Eagle floating high above us the icing was already on the cake … until this happened.
