A smoke of puffins

On our last day together in Ardnamurchan the four of us took a boat trip to the Treshnish Isles, then on to Staffa. We picnicked on Lunga surrounded by sea birds, including hundreds of puffins, and some extremely tame black and brown rabbits. The other wildlife highlight of the day was our bottle nose dolphin escort across the Sound of Mull back to the quayside in Kilchoan.
