Cape Wrath Birdlife (1 Viewer)

Hi all,

First post for a long time on here and my first attempt at posting pictures.I have just returned from 2 weeks at Cape Wrath,NW Sutherland,Scotland and during my time up there I spent an afternoon walking along the cliffs from Faraid Head to Durness.The following pics are what I have so far edited from the many I took.The area is an haven for birdlife both along the coast and in the actual village,I was awoken every morning at 0630 by the local Cuckoo!!Anyway hope you like the following:

Love the Great Skua Pic!!! I also love Cape Wrath

Excellent photos Andy. What equipment did you use?.
Cape Wrath is a great place, my wife and I went there in 1995 and we still joke about the minibus ride out and back to the lighthouse with a driver who seemed intent on breaking his time record on every trip!!!!. I wonder if he is still there, hurtling along the track.
I look forward to seeing some more photos. Roger
