Tips
Sumburgh Head is one of the famous places in Scotland when it comes to watching puffins (and others birds, e.g. guillemots). Between late April and July/early August, you’ll very likely be able to see hundreds of the cute ‘clowns of the sea’ at this highlight. Puffins are also called sea parrots because of their coloured beak, or, more locally, tammy norries. Enjoy! 🦜😍
