    [slug] => fair-isle-simmer-dim-on-the-magical-isle
    [description] => 

Lying isolated in the North Atlantic between Shetland and Orkney, Fair Isle is world-renowned for its seabirds and dramatic scenery. In midsummer the island is alive with noise and colour, as thousands of Puffins, Guillemots, Razorbills and Kittiwakes throng the cliffs, while Arctic and Great Skuas patrol overhead. Offshore, Gannets plunge in tight flocks, and calm seas may reveal Minke Whales, Harbour Porpoise, White-beaked Dolphins or maybe Orca. With its compact size, Fair Isle can be explored entirely on foot, each day offering unforgettable encounters among croftland, moor, loch and sea cliff.

A stay at the Fair Isle Bird Observatory (FIBO) places us at the very centre of this spectacle. From here guests enjoy comfortable accommodation, hearty meals and immersion in island life, with staff sharing daily sightings and, on certain evenings, inviting visitors to witness Storm Petrel ringing; a rare chance to see these mysterious seabirds up close.

The island is alive with Skylarks, Meadow Pipits and Twite in full song, while Lapwings display over the open moors and Snipe drum overhead. Dunlin and Golden Plover will be on the moors, while the endemic Fair Isle Wren sings from the geos. There is even the chance of a summer rarity, with Marsh Warbler, Common Rosefinch or other overshooting passerines recorded in recent years.

With endless daylight at this latitude, the evocative ‘Simmer Dim’, Fair Isle in midsummer offers long, unhurried days among seabirds and seals, with cetaceans and rarities always possible.

We also offer this tour in the Spring and Autumn.

  • Stay at the legendary Fair Isle Bird Observatory
  • Seabird colonies at their peak including Puffins, Skuas, Gannets, Fulmars and Kittiwakes
  • Storm Petrel Ringing at the Observatory
  • Summering eastern passerines possible
  • Chance of Orca and other cetaceans
  • Experience island life and culture

From the rolling heaths and woodlands of the New Forest National Park to the extensive wetlands that line the north Norfolk coastline, the varied habitats and landscapes of the British Isles are home to a wealth of exciting wildlife. It is definitely not essential to go abroad when wildlife holidays in Britain offer such diversity!

Within the UK, Scotland offers arguably some of the best opportunities for wildlife watching. Scotland’s landscapes encompass a huge array of habitats from mountains, lakes, forests and lochs, to seemingly endless coastlines, lowland moors, offshore islands, ‘machair’ (green sward habitat) and heaths.

With truly unspoilt settings, white-sand beaches, breathtaking sunsets, Neolithic sites and a vibrant Gaelic culture including bagpipe-playing and ceilidhs, plus excellent malt whisky and hospitable people, wildlife holidays in Scotland have a unique charm.

Summary

Lying isolated in the North Atlantic between Shetland and Orkney, Fair Isle is world-renowned for its seabirds and dramatic scenery. In midsummer the island is alive with noise and colour, as thousands of Puffins, Guillemots, Razorbills and Kittiwakes throng the cliffs, while Arctic and Great Skuas patrol overhead. Offshore, Gannets plunge in tight flocks, and calm seas may reveal Minke Whales, Harbour Porpoise, White-beaked Dolphins or maybe Orca. With its compact size, Fair Isle can be explored entirely on foot, each day offering unforgettable encounters among croftland, moor, loch and sea cliff.

A stay at the Fair Isle Bird Observatory (FIBO) places us at the very centre of this spectacle. From here guests enjoy comfortable accommodation, hearty meals and immersion in island life, with staff sharing daily sightings and, on certain evenings, inviting visitors to witness Storm Petrel ringing; a rare chance to see these mysterious seabirds up close.

The island is alive with Skylarks, Meadow Pipits and Twite in full song, while Lapwings display over the open moors and Snipe drum overhead. Dunlin and Golden Plover will be on the moors, while the endemic Fair Isle Wren sings from the geos. There is even the chance of a summer rarity, with Marsh Warbler, Common Rosefinch or other overshooting passerines recorded in recent years.

With endless daylight at this latitude, the evocative ‘Simmer Dim’, Fair Isle in midsummer offers long, unhurried days among seabirds and seals, with cetaceans and rarities always possible.

We also offer this tour in the Spring and Autumn.
