Back to normal again!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy back with you again.

I don't know about you but I think I've reached a stage of Puffin overload! 

Out walking this morning, we ran into Devo the Husky and spent some ten minutes dancing around and sniffing the sniffs!

OTL hasn't taken his camera out with him since we got back, he is planning to off load the holiday photos into the computer memory cards.

That means you won't have anything to look at!

Here you go then, some photos you may not have seen yet!

The mad rush back to the boat to get the best seat out of the sun!

We didn't spend all out time looking at the bird life..........just most of it!

On top of the stack is a Sea Eagle!

It wasn't all boat trips; we went looking at known sighting of previous interesting bird life. Of course, there is always the bird spotter who likes the easy life!

Camouflage?.........Wot Camouflage?

There was also some fine views of the hills and bays.


The mountain on the right is a Munro and a few years ago OTL climbed it on his own!

This used to be a ramshackle building that doubled as a Post Office, but it's all change now and they do a fine cheese Scone!

Mind you, to get there you have to travel down a single-track road for five miles!

The road finishes here, so it's turn around and go back!

I must get OTL's camera out tomorrow.

Bye for now.

Luv,

Daisy.

The Best Bit!

 Hi Woofers!

Daisy here!

Now, where are we?

We have done Staffa and the Fingals Cave bit and now we are on Longa, this is the largest of the Treshnish Islands.

Like all islands off the side of Scotland, this is made from volcanic stuff. Over the years grass and earth have landed on the island via the birds etc.

The animals like rabbits have been left on the island and Puffins have taken over the  rabbit burrows as nesting holes.

OTL says, that's what I came for, the Puffins!












 Another bird was the Great Skua, sometimes known by the name bonxie, and they fly up and down the nesting Puffins looking for an easy meal.

That's another tick on OTL's Bucket List!

Luv,

Daisy.
