		Our day off and four of us take a bus to Seahouses and board a boat .
		Braving the salty spray to cross to the Farne Islands .
		After a trip round the islands where we see the seals .
		Nesting birds .
		Strange rock formations .
		And our first sight of puffins .
		As well as the lighthouse made famous by Grace Darling .
		We land on Inner Farne .
		Where terns lay their eggs by the side of paths .
		As we begin our walk round the island .
		With its bird colonies .
		And puffins .
		A Boeing 74 Puffin .
		A low flying puffin .
		Puffin squadron .
		Grounded .
		Thinks ... Am I a shag or a cormorant? .
		Nesting .
		And finally some Eider Ducks out for an evening stroll
