We hiked through clouds to the cliff- tops on the northernmost Shetland Island. We were so engrossed with the puffins waddling by, we didn't want to go any further but our guides said 'you have to see the gannets'. Reluctantly, we walked the extra 200 metres and stood with our jaws dropped almost to the sea at the sight we found. Over 100,000 gannets, and other birds nest here, and only a privileged few travellers reach it. Yet another moment that I am a very glad I am traveller, not a tourist.
