The visiting Arran group with Eddie Maguire, the warden.
Last month 13 members of the Arran Natural History Society enjoyed a visit to Machrihanish Seabird Observatory. This was part of the summer programme of activities for members that included a bird ringing demonstration in Auchenhew Bay in June and a flora walk in Glen Rosa in July.
The observatory, which has been open for 25 years, is about six miles west of Campbeltown on the Atlantic coast at Uisaed Point.
