Gannet  500 past in small flocks
Black guillemot 10
Fulmar  small colony

Guillemot  small colony
Razorbill                 
Arctic tern 50

Wheatears

I probably use the word breathtaking too frequently, but apologies, it really does apply to the Butt of Lewis with its dramatic cliffs an red brick lighthouse built by Stephenson.
It was a hot sunny day, almost cloudless, with bright blue skies and just a slight breeze.
