Reports From The Field Wild and Ancient Britain
The seabird citadels of the Isles of Noss and May, the Flannans, Staffa, and Rathlin are the refuge of some of the largest seabird colonies in Europe. Guillemots, kittiwakes, gannets, and puffins are continuously busy flying to and from the sea in an effort to feed their hungry chicks. In addition to birdlife, the spectacular geologic formations are a window into the Earth's past while Neolithic monuments, stone abbeys, and Celtic fortresses stand as mysterious testimony to the hardiness and endurance of ancient peoples.
