About 70 islands are part of the Orkney archipelago. Located between North Atlantic and North Sea, north of Scotland, the islands attract huge numbers of birds. Thousands of seabirds breed on the islands: auks, puffins, guillemots, kittiwakes and fulmars. Birds that live out at sea and only visit land to breed. They are harassed by great skuas and arctic skuas.
