Bird festival (Shiant islands)

This was a special treat on our way from Tarbert to Marivaig, as we passed through the Shiant islands. There were birds flying and swimming everywhere.

On our way to the Shiant islands, the observation starts with the magestic glider: Ganet (Fou de bassan)

Tubular rock formations – Shiant islands

Colorful Puffins – the stars of the show

Razorbill (petit pinguin)

During our sails in Scotland, we have seen many of these north antlantic seabirds. They lead a predominantly aquatic lifestyle, only coming on land to breed.

The scenery is spectacular.
Although the name of the islands, pronounced in French, is not inviting at first.

En fait, comme les oiseaux volent aussi au-dessus du bateau, le risque au sens littéral est possible. Heureusement, nous avons reçu un petit poisson.

Belles photos
Elles nous rappellent de bons souvenirs
La vie naturelle semble bien plus intense dans les latitudes nords
