We were lucky enough to get across to the Farne Islands. As a group of islands they are pretty splendid but when you add in the wildlife it was spectacular! I’ve never seen such huge colonies of seabirds!
We were heading down to the Rock festival at Skegness in Lincolnshire and stopped off at the nature reserve at Donna Nook to see the seals and their cubs. They were beautiful.
There is something about seals – the way the old fat ones loll about on the rocks, eyes closed, looking as if they are in ecstasy – the inquisitive young alert cubs – the sudden transformation into sleek and agile swimmers as soon as they hit the water.
