And a cracking day out it proved to be. Overcast so no glare to contend with, and the Minch almost flat calm.
Birds seen throughout the trip were; Gannet, Storm Petrel, Manx Shearwater, Bonxie, Tystie, Arctic Skua, Guillemot, Razorbill, Puffins, Raven and Hooded Crow in Stornoway, but highlight had to be a pod of about 50 Common Dolphin. At one point the ferry was completely surrounded by these fantastic beasts.
Once again great company, many laughs and some brilliant birds. Happy days and roll on the next trip in two weeks time!
