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 | ||
