Risso’s dolphinJuly has been a very exciting month. Guests have enjoyed calling Corncrakes, Risso’s dolphins, Arctic Terns and Arctic Skuas feeding their young. The cliffs at Noup have astonished people with the hundreds of breeding seabirds and the dramatic scenery. Common seals suckling their young at different locations provided a distraction for several guests who had timed their visit to Westray perfectly. The following images are just a few of the highlights to whet your appetite. If you can’t make it this year, put us in your diary for 2020, places are already booking up!
