Fortunately for us, the weather calmed down and the glorious sun came out for our puffin cruise day (with Staffa Tours). We were able to make an exit from Iona Island by early morning ferry, then drive across Mull in time for our morning puffin cruise. In short, it was amazing, here are the photos. Enjoy!

| Great Skua, nemesis of the puffin |

| Small foraging parties were another sign we were nearing the puffin stronghold... |
 |
| Gray Seals keep a wary eye on our boat |
 |
| Off the boat and up the cliff, we enjoy intimate time with the puffins as they busily dig their burrows |

| Razorbills engaging in full courtship |
 |
| Some were mating |
 |
| ...but often interrupted by an unwanted peeping Tom! |
