A splendid week on the Shiants as we laid the foundations for the new bothies next spring, working with local communities to restore the existing bothy and create new sleeping quarters. This is part of a our conservation initiative to restore the island. News to follow soon.

A young puffin taken on the Shiants this week by the Shiant Seabird Ringers. Reports are lots of immature puffins this year which is such good news. Wonderful group of volunteers who provide welcome insight and discovery every summer.
