Birdwatching in Orkney

The RSPB, the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, is the largest single landowner in Orkney; the importance of the archipelago from an ornithological point of view cannot be over-emphasized. The most numerous ternery in Britain; the most densely populated sea cliff in NW Europe and the world`s largest Great Black Backed Gull colony, introduce an island group unrivalled in photographic, archaeological and avifaunal interest.
