Arctic Tern on Inner Farne

Picture
Spent a another cracking day photographing wildlife on the Farne Islands yesterday with my good friend David (Bretton98) and David(Jotso). It meant an early start, but with the promise of fine weather it was well worth it. My thanks go to David for doing all the driving.

Lying off the coast of North Northumberland, this is one of the greatest wildlife experiences that is just a boat ride away.  Farne Islands are possibly the most exciting sea bird colony in England with unrivalled views of 23 species, including around 37,000 pairs of puffin. It's also home to a large grey seal colony, with more than 1,000 pups born every autumn.  This puffin image has been added to gallery with more to follow later.

I'm still recovering, (but in a good way), after spending the weekend at RAF Waddington Air Show. It was great to see the Red Arrows, Lancaster, Spitfire and Hurricane. Seeing the Vulcan fly again was a high light and a show stopper. I was wondering while seeing it fly, how many more years before we can only tell our grand-kids that we had seen it fly.

A big thank you to all the staff at RAF Waddington, who gave up there time and weekend and put on another great show.

Also I would like to say a big thank you to Peter and the rest of the team from 'TPA Portable Roadways' for a great weekend.  TPA build temporary roadways to all the big sporting events, film locations and pop concerts. It's the company that gets you there!! Thanks guys.

Over the weekend I've taken over 4,000 images and when I get time to edit a few I'll put them in a gallery here, so watch this space.
