Wildlife and walking trip to the Faroe Islands July 11th to 22nd 2016.
My trip was organized by Green Gate Incoming a Travel Company in the Faroes. The main interest for this trip was to walk on many of the islands and record the wildlife seen.
The weather was cool with rain at times as can be seen from the photos.
This page shows the general photographs of the trip with some wildlife but for more detailed wildlife photos please link to Scenes of the Faroes 2016.
