Birdwatching Noob Extraordinaire!

Hi folks,

I'm heading over to Skye for a week starting this weekend coming, and i'm wondering if anyone has advice on where to go bird watching on the island? I'll be staying near Loch Bay on Waternish - was thinking i might try Ardmore Bay and Ardmore Point at least once, since they're nearby, but does anyone have any other suggestions?

TIA

Thanks for the link... it's ideal!

Here's hoping i get some nice bird sightings while I'm away (although I'll probably be spending half the week up the Cuillins!)

if you want a cheap pelagic, try a non-landing cruise to the Western Isles from Uig.

I might just give that a try. Thanks for the tip!

Only a couple of days to go now... will definitely field a report when i get back. Really looking forward to it, too.
