My Birding or Critter Day 2019

Glad to hear your journey to N.East went smoothly Jim and have your first Puffin photo already - what a cracker ! I can't believe we missed out last year due to the constant inclement weather but look forward to your updates as you settle in for two weeks bird watching. Great start Jim, make sure you have a good breakfast before heading out lol

Well that is a cracking start James, perfect shot to take home with you.

Have a good trip.

Thanks all, sadly not been able to sign in, been playing around just now and managed to change my password again and its let me sign in :)

Well its Tuesday the second week and all sailings have been canceled to rough out there for a couple of days, I have found another nice place to see the waders on the beach and not that far away,, we would have gone tonight but its blowing a gail here but the sun is out with some blue skies, we have been over to the Islands five times and got some nice pictures saw the Leucistic guillemot again yesterday and she has an egg down so lets hope it servives with these winds out on the rocks.

I have still got to get all the pictures ready but here is one I got yesterday taken from the boat.

Shag

Glad you managed to get signed in Jim and think the weather has been better over your side than the North West; you wouldn't like today's weather, non-stop heavy rain and still set to be heavy till middle of the night and more for the next three days ! Sounds like you've had a good few trips out to the Farne islands and nice to see your photo of the Shag and look forward to the next pics. Keep having fun whilst we keep the home fires burning LOL

Its here too now Hazel, and its a rough sea :) took a picture just after six last night of Bamburgh Castle from the veranda

that's a cracking shot Jim, very atmospheric

Taken yesterday on the Inner Farne Island.

Thank you Hazel.
