Arctic Skua at Fair Isle

Fair Isle, that remote outpost lying midway between Orkney and Shetland, offers a striking backdrop for photographing the Arctic Skua against its dramatic coastal scenery of towering sea cliffs and rugged sandstone stacks. June is the month to visit, when this isolated island setting is at its most accessible for photography. Travellers joining the Atlantic Puffins of Fair Isle holiday will find this a rewarding location to add the Arctic Skua to their portfolio, set against some of Scotland's most rugged coastal terrain.
