We are over half way through the breeding season but there is still lots to see around the Isle of May NNR. Lot's of balls of fluff are still to be seen all over the island.
Eider Ducklings are doing well on the loch

This little Arctic Tern chick has only hatched recently
This Tern chick likes to run around at the feet of May Princess passengers while they disembark to boat
Pied Wagtails are still producing young. They are one of the two regular breeding songbirds on the island
