The two Old Boys John Coe and Aquarius came by again today between Staffa and the Treshnish Isles before heading north past Treshnish and Cailiach Points.
That’s the Turus Mara fleet away to bed. It is always good at this time of year to have them safe at the boatyard for the winter.
Launch date in 2025 is only a few short months away and bookings are already live on the website!
Lovely day at sea today - not bad for the end of October. Hope to run a couple more trips next week if the weather forecast stays reasonable. Drop us a message if you fancy an end of season visit to Staffa!
Figures from the Treshnish Isles have shown a record number of breeding Puffins.
Reports from the Treshnish Isles Auk Ringing Group (TIARG) confirm that Lunga now has over 6400 occupied Puffin Burrows – a record number of nearly 13,000 breeding puffins

This morning our rangers were monitoring Staffa's black guillemots, also known as tysties. Happy to report we still have a healthy population of these endearing birds - love their big red clown feet! @N_T_S@TheSeabirdGroup@JNCC_UKseabirds@smp_seabirds @Ellingbry
