Rank : 10.0 (average on 2 votes)Coordinates : 56.499304, -6.399313 ( Open in Google Maps) Subjects : I had read in magazines and books of the beauty of these places ... all confirmed live, indeed, better and more than I could hope for. Just landed, just walk a few hundred meters to be in front of hundreds of puffins, shags, large colonies of razorbills, fulmars, gulls, rabbits and numerous seals settled on rocky outcrops adjacent to the islands. The island is also a nesting place for many species of birds and then at certain times of the year may be prohibited to land for tourists (I think in August). The islands offer shooting possibilities incredible and anyone who is passionate about wildlife or at least a lover of nature in general, if you decide to take a trip in Scotland should not to miss the opportunity to visit these islands. In addition, in the crossing that leads to the islands, if you are lucky, you may encounter various cetaceans, including whales and dolphins, or sea eagle, settled on the ramparts of the island of Mull. He considered this half a MUST! Seeing is believing ...Recommended equipment : Although it may seem absurd to these islands offer so many photographic possibilities that might be a good enough bridge with a good zoom or a super compattona. Of course to get great shots of the birds given the extreme confidence suffices a focal length of 200mm. A focal length of 300mm on full sensor is more than enough. A 70-300 zoom combined with an aps-c sensor is ideal for a great photo hunting. Clearly, with bright paintings or sigma 120-300 2.8 300 2.8 you have the option to take home photos to "hang in the living room." A tripod is optional, free-hand to get good photos, and maps are absolutely necessary for cleaning lenses and tools to protect the camera from rain.Best months : From what I've read the islands are open during the summer from April to October. Since the transfers to and from the islands are held by small boats excursion is subject to weather conditions and we set sail at the discretion of the captain. So before you start always check the weather. For those who have problems with seasickness valued asset, the trip takes about three hours round trip and if the conditions are not quite optimal you may be affected. In August, the islands could be off limits due to the nesting of the species. Last consider the following ... bring waterproof clothing always, remember we are in scotland ... 4 seasons in one day ...How to get there : For all the information I add the link below, are the two companies who make trips to various ports dell'Argyll http://www.turusmara.com/ http://www.staffatours.com/the-islands/the-treshnish -isles/treshnish-isles-wildlife / http://www.calmac.co.uk/Visits : Access is free you only pay for the trip.
