Photography – The Farne Islands – Bird life like you can only imagine! Fantastic!
Every cloud has a silver lining. As I was unable to complete the St Oswald’s Way walk I hobbled off to the Farne Islands off the coast of Northumberland.
What I found was mind-zapping! Bird life that was stupendous! Puffins, Cormorants, Shags, Guillemots, Terns and more. They were fabulous.
You could walk up to the birds and see them up close. I’ve never seen so many. I loved it. We’d gone at the right time. There were hundreds of nests and chicks. Incredible!!
Oh – and there were seals!
Here’s a few photos:
Hey Opher – It seems you were richly rewarded with some great photographs. Such diversity, such unprecedented numbers of birds! Every cloud does indeed have a silver lining.

Yes – it was a great end to the walk – though I really would have liked to have completed it.
Wow those are beautiful birds!!
And you could get so close to them and their chicks – quite amazing!
