Farne Isles, Northumberland

[ian531]

Hi,

Sorry, it’s taken me awhile to get these posted

While up in Northumberland in May we took a boat trip from Seahouses out to the Farne Isles. We weren’t disappointed, great wildlife, great weather and a great crew on the boat.

Highly recommend - hope I’ve not over done the amount images

Next time we will definitely take the trip out to Bass Rock over the border in Scotland to see the ten’s of thousands of Gannets

Thanks Phil

First time we have been, definitely worth visiting - just lacking a few more airports 😁

Great photos, especially the ones of the puffins. You had grand weather too and some good luck seeing those dolphins. I've visited Handa Island off NW Scotland and Bempton Cliffs near Filey, which are both good for watching seabirds, but nowhere beats the Farnes, especially at peak nesting time.
