Inchcolm Island

 We did want to get out to the Isle of May this year, but just didn't get the opportunity before it was fully booked up. Then bird flu hit, so hopefully next year. As a compromise we booked a trip out to Inchcolm Island from South Queensferry in the hope of seeing some Puffins there.

However when we landed on the island, we found that the paths out to where the Puffins nest were sadly closed. Never mind! 😒

We had a nice time on the island anyway, there were lots of Gull chicks about:

Fulmar:

And if there were lots of Gull chicks, there must be a lot of Gulls (Herring & Lesser Black Backed)

Even though we couldn't get to the part of the island where the Puffins were nesting, it doesn't mean we didn't see any:

Then there's always going to be Oystercatchers around:

It also appears Gnomes are quite common here too:

So a few scenic shots:
