Fingal’s Cave
The morning was all about a trip out to Staffa and Fingal’s cave. We’d rescheduled it as the weather on the following day did not look too promising. We got it right, although I do really prefer dramatic sea conditions but the boats simply won’t run on such days!
It is a quite astounding geology here and always worth a visit and great you can still walk into the cave itself, with all the health and safety regulations now it’s refreshing. On other visits across to Staffa over the years we’ve had the company of Common and Bottle-nosed Dolphins. No such luck this time but always a memorable experience!
Not many auks in September in contrast to when we last visited Staffa in the month of July. A Wheatear was moving through on the plateau of Staffa and we passed a few small groups of Manx Shearwaters.
The Bottle-nosed Dolphins here were taken a few years back on another visit to the Treshnish Isles and Staffa.
