Thanks very much for that. Why don't you post a report about the Scottish Seabird Centre in the County by County Index? This is where we put purely factual reports about how to get to places and what we might expect to find when we get there.

Thanks Euan,

My wife works at the Seabird Centre and is glad you enjoyed it and posted here to say so.

I will ask her to write a bit about the SSC in the Lothian forum.

Hi Euan,

Another option, you can get the boat out to the Farne Islands, and get real close to the birds . . .

5 months to think up a reply!

Michael,

There aren't any gannets on the Farnes, are there?

Hi David,

No Gannets nesting on the Farnes, but they do occasionally stop for a rest there, and there's always plenty passing through. Had a load on a pelagic off the Farnes today (as well as 15 Sooty Shears, 20-odd Manxies, 2 Storm Petrels, etc)
