The RSPB today announced that it had acquired two seabird-rich islands off the East Coast of Scotland. Bass Rock (above) is famous for its huge colony of nesting Gannets, while Craigleith Island (below) is where thousands of Puffins breed each year. The society has not disclosed how much it paid for the two islands but is has thanked the National Heritage Memorial Fund and the National Lottery Heritage Fund, plus various individual donors, for their contributions. The vendor of both islands is Sir Hugh Dalrymple. Pictures: RSPB.
