Scotland  >  United Kingdom

Beautiful island for bird enthusiasts. A little paradise lost at sea. It takes some effort to get there but so unforgettable!

Beskrivning

On Handa Island you will have the possibility to easily see sillgrissla, tordmule, stormfågel, lunnefågel, storlabb and the kustlabb which nest on the island and many other birds! It is an island where no one lives and it is staying wild. There are pedestrian paths to follow and which allow you to take a nice tour. You have breathtaking views of a live seabird colonies. The best time is April to July for the reproduction of seabirds. Mid-May to July for lunnefågel. Watch out for the storlabb attacks!
