RSPB Onziebust

Recommended by

Overview

Come during the spring and summer and you will see a wonderfully exuberant display of summer flowers and possibly the rare great yellow bumblebee. Marshland wading birds nest here in the summer, while in the autumn greylag geese and a variety of ducks stop off at Onziebust's two tranquil lochs.

Location

Onziebust, EGILSAY, KW17 2QD

About the area

This cluster of more than 70 islands and skerries lies off the northern coast of Scotland, separated from it by the churning waters of the Pentland Firth. Approaching on the ferry from Scrabster or Aberdeen, the first view of Hoy, with its tall rock stacks and slabby red sandstone cliffs, is at first misleading.
