What will I see when I come to Vigur?

Nature on Vigur is completely wild - we do not breed or keep anything in captivity - therefore, we cannot predict what you will see during your visit and cannot be held responsible for sightings. More than 65 species of bird can be seen on Vigur throughout the summer season. The table below is intended as a guide to the season for the wildlife of primary interest to the majority of visitors and is intended as an indication of what may be possible to see only. It does not imply any guarantee of sightings of any wildlife at any time.
