Fiona Hulbert took a stunning trip, sailing to the beautiful Treshnish Isles with Alternative Boat Hire to watch Puffins.

Sailing to the Treshnish Isles, on the red sailing boat, with a delicious packed lunch to spend a few idilic hours watching the puffins is a breathtaking experience, to be locked into memories.

Lying flat on my stomach, eyes level with orange feet and decsending Puffins, I watch these amazing birds coming into land and returning to their burrows. Looking puffins right in the eye, knowing that I have written a strory to explain what they are doing right in front of me is really special.

Thank you for the most amazing experience.
