Beskrivning
A striking place to visit in early summer, the privately owned Shiant Isles have 240,000 breeding lunnefågel, 18,000 sillgrissla, 11,000 tordmule, 4,000 stormfågel, 2,000 tretåig mås and 1,500 toppskarv, plus havsörn and passing waders. The Minch channel is an important route for minke, fin and killer whales and basking sharks.
Rats having recently been eradicated, it is hoped that shearwaters and petrels will return to breed.
