@shepherdmanswife I am back home now, this was taken on day 9 of an 11 day island hopping trip, the earlier days are on here. I am collecting islands this year, I have got to wait until the end of June now, Orkneys are next.

Look at that expression! @Taffy -- we really must go find ourselves some puffins especially now that we have longer lenses!

I really want to photograph there!

@taffy I went out to the island with Staffa Tours.
I can highly recommend them and their boats.
@jyokota Here and several other places you don't need a long lens, they are very close.
Silly close.
Elsewhere you might need a longer lens.

Confusingly there is more than one island up there called Lunga. Staffa take you to the right one.
Further north you can find them on the Orkneys or Shetland Islands.
If you need more info let me know.

@markp -- many thanks for these tips! I'm screen clipping and saving them -- and @taffy and I will definitely get there some day! We'd like to contact you when we are ready for more info. THANKS!
