Noss
Another day and another adventure. This time we are heading to Noss island. It all starts on a ferry |
The ferry brings us to the island of Bressay which we cross on a bus. Then we are getting on this small boat |
Unfortunately, we could find any puffins here this time. So we had to fake it a little bit |
Same old faces again and again |
When the rain started a fellow went home but felt asleep on a doorstep |
Foula
So we had to take this tiny airplane called "Islander". It can carry only 5 passengers
and doesn't look that reliable. Some of us were reluctant to board
|
A pilot tried his best to make us feel safe and calm |
This is what we saw when we have landed |
All coasts of the island are craggy and forbidding |
But these dangerous cliffs are where some rare birds nest |
They say 30 people live on the island. We haven't seen any of them (except of three people on the airfield). Houses look depressingly abandoned |

The locals
Not that many people one meets walking along the Shetland hills. However, sheeps and ponnies are always there |
Puffins are not so available. They only stay on a few cliffs of some pretty remote islands. It took the Dad some big effort to make this shot |
These are real autists! Seals running away from us with all their clumsiness |
Two (out of 30, as they say) inhabitants of Foula island |
