June 18th to 23th 2021
This trip was organised by Wildlife Worldwide.The tour started with a drive from Inverness to the north west coast of Scotland. We spent three nights in Scourie and two nights in Gairloch. The highlight of the trip was visiting the sea cliffs on Handa Island with their nesting sea birds.
Some of the photographs are of a poor quality but serve as a record of the species seen.
