This morning our rangers were monitoring Staffa's black guillemots, also known as tysties. Happy to report we still have a healthy population of these endearing birds - love their big red clown feet!

Fabulous end to my Isle of Mull tour for Naturetrek. Amazing weather, superb accommodation and stunning wildlife. Next year's tour is almost full so let me know if you're keen to come. Here are some creative shots from our trip with Turus Mara on Saturday.

Here's another puffin... (how much patience have you got for this, because I could go on for some time?) Lunga, Treshnish Isles, #InnerHebrides
