Handa Island is located in the north-western part of Scotland. There is a huge sanctuary of seabirds. However, you only get there with a motor boat from Tarbet.
It is a pleasant drive from Scourie...
...to the port of Tarbet...
...where we buy a ticket for the boat passage to the island.
The passage takes only a few minutes.
A quick visit to the bird bunk where a donation should be left...
...and over a plank roadway we reach the bird sanctuary where we once more hope for puffins.
On our way we are watched with suspicion.
We feel a little queasy - there are no safety fences anywhere.
Puffins, skuas, kittiwakes, fulmars, and oystercatchers are the residents here.
Lazyness and sunbathing is the order of the day...
?
Passing swarms of midgets, we return to the boat taking us back to Tarbet.
