Farne Islands 04/07/2011
by martin on Jul.06, 2011, under Birdwatching, Farne Islands, Northumberland
By Monday morning, our car could almost have driven itself to Seahouses 🙂 I collected John and Anthea from their holiday accommodation at St Cuthbert’s House and we had a tour of the North Northumberland coast before boarding Glad Tidings IV and sailing to Inner Farne. The tern colony was as wonderful as ever. I felt a little bit let down though, as not one of the terns managed to hit my head! Arctic, Common and Sandwich Terns were all studied to fix identification criteria firmly in mind and Puffins were, as always, well appreciated. The hour on the islands passed in no time at all, and soon we were heading back across to Seahouses. The Farne Islands are still one of the most extraordinary places I’ve ever visited, and that I get to visit them with such nice clients is a real joy.
