Amoungst The Cliffs
 

As well as being great places to visit and photograph, the sea bird colonies around the coast of Britain are some of huge international importance.  Each spring and summer they are visited by several million birds who for a few months make these areas their home.

There are many sites worth a visit but amongst the key sites are; The Shetland Isles, Skommer, The Farne Islands, and numerous islands of the West coast of Scotland.
