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.



Breeding place for seabirds




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.

Merci pour ce très joli reportage.
Bises à vous deux
Merci, je suis bien contente qu’il vous ait plu.
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
