Black Guillemot at Fair Isle

Fair Isle's remote position in the North Sea, roughly midway between Orkney and Shetland, makes it a superb base from which to seek out the Black Guillemot against a backdrop of towering sea cliffs and rugged sandstone stacks. Visiting in June offers the best opportunity to find these birds along this dramatic coastline. Those joining the Atlantic Puffins of Fair Isle holiday will find themselves well placed to add the Black Guillemot to their portfolio while exploring this isolated outpost of the Shetland archipelago. The island's untamed, cliff-bound scenery provides a striking natural setting for photographing this species in situ.
