Had a weeks holiday in Seahouses, stayed in the same cottage as we have done for some years now.I could only visit the Farne Islands once and chose the Inner Farne seeing you can get some good photographic opportunities and I was not disappointed, there are two pictures I took that I like very much and one bird we can find on our local canal or lake the Mallard!! for these I got down on my belly for the shots and I think they turned out quit nicely.

Hello James,
I've been watching this thread from the beginning, and would just like to tell you that it is absolutely marvellous. Thank you for all the tips, and the pictures are awesome. I especially like the Puffins... all of them...
Also Thank you to Whistling Joe: Your Puffin-Photo is something special!!
Regards, Bente
Thank you very much for your kind words, Bente, over the years I have took lots of pictures at Seahouses, I don’t just do wildlife I will take pictures of anything that looks interesting.
Some pictures taken last year or the year before.
The Fulmar and Kittiwake/chicks were taken from the Golf course at Seahouses.
Hmmm, golf course eh? I shall be that way myself very shortly (Mrs WJ needs her Puffin fix). We shall have to go dodge a few golf balls as well, obviously! :-)
Oh all right, another couple. Skomer ones this time for a change :-)
Incoming with sand eels
Very much in love

Very nice, Joe, I never saw any this year bringing back any sand eels but I bet its not long now before they are.If your looking right across the harbour there are some cottages on top of a grass banking walk along the harbour up a incline and walk past the cottages you can only turn right at the end so just follow the path they have made the path better it was just soil at first but nor it’s a little wider and tarmaced so nice under foot till you get to the golf course then its grass but just before you get on the golf course there is a gate and you will see the Kittiwakes nesting on the cliffs, you can walk a little bit more on top of the cliff to get a better view.If there are eggs or young about the Fulmars will be gliding along the cliffs on the updraft so can make for some nice pictures that’s what the one in the picture above was doing.Jim
Excellent, Thanks Jim :-)
Well Bob, how did your trip to the Farne Islands? I hope you had a good trip and saw plenty of seabirds!
Regards,
Ian.
Don't know how, but I've completely missed this thread,sorry folks.I live in Sunderland, but originally from Newcastle and am ashamed to say have never visited the Farne Islands, however,in my defence, I have only recently taken up the joys of bird watching. There are so many things to see and places to visit that I'm sure I'll get there one day, in the meantime can I say what excellent photo's there are in this thread James and am looking forward to more from Bob (happy Birthday)(I'm 67 this year) Thomo and Christine, I'm sure you'll do us proud.
Terry
cheers Terry

Thanks Terry - I think we are all excited about going to the Farne Islands, and you never know, now you're in to birdwatching, we might be looking at your photographs of the Farne Islands before too long!
