island, birds
Half a mile from Yellowcraigs beach, the island of Fidra is an RSPB reserve and, reputedly the inspiration for Robert Louis Stevenson's 'Treasure Island'. Fidra is a small attractive island about three miles from the Scottish Seabird Centre. With grassy slopes and cliffs, it is home to small populations of guillemots, razorbills, herring gulls and puffins.
The Fidra camera specialises in capturing close-ups of birds. It gives visitors the opportunity to observe young birds such as kittiwake. A pair of peregrine falcons have adopted a 'feasting perch' on Fidra, close to the camera and can be observed all year round, dining on their prey!
