It does not happen too often to come this close to a colony of Sandwich Terns. Loved it. And the Puffins, they are soo charming to watch. :)

These images are from my trip to Scotland in June-July in 20012. It was a real pleasure to visit the Arctic Tern colony. Even if they liked to attack your head. They had eggs and chicks were all over the place so one had to be careful walking there. And the terns were very protective of their young of course. The last image raised questions, the tern is sitting on a mans hat.

Sandwich Tern accompanied with a few Puffins. Isn´t it strange, so many birds on that last

shot and yet it is impossible to really see any of them. That happens a lot, doesn´t it?  :(

I have never been this close to birds before. It was a real treat and I loved every second of it. Despite the fact we was attackt most of the time. You had to wear head protection. But luckily they did not target your eyes. You had to be very careful so you stayed out of their way as chicks could wander around. I had a lot of fun trying to capture them in the backlight of the sun. And as you can see there was nests, eggs and chicks all over the place. A place I´d like to revisit.

The Oystercatcher was a bird we saw almost everywhere in Scotland. Well, the area we visited. And heard. Because you heard them before you saw them. I did not know they were so talkative. Now I do. :)

This bird had a lot of temper. So fun to watch. It wanted the pond for itself. :)
