My second trip to the Farne Islands was to spend a short time on Staple Island to see the seabird colonies nesting on the cliffs. I had never visited this island on previous trips, so this was a new experience. The most numerous were Guillemots but also nesting were Shags, Razorbills, Kittiwakes and Fulmer.
But undoubtedly the highlight of the trip was the opportunity to photograph Puffins at close range as they popped in and out of their nesting holes.
Wonderful experience as I have only ever seen one or two birds at a time even when visiting Inner Farne.
