Farnes for the Week End

Spent Friday evening Saturday around Bamburgh and Sunday morning on the Farnes.

Seahouses: Called in here in the evening and caught up with EIDER ducks with young. Very confiding birds to say the least. Also a very strange looking SWALLOW which must be a throw back somewhere. Also ROCK PIPIT, RINGED PLOVER, KITTYWAKE and FULMER. Plenty of SAND MARTIN, SWIFT and HOUSE MARTIN on the cliff.


            
 
         


With no opportunity of heading onto the Farnes on Saturday, but made it out for one hour on the Sunday. For any birder it is a delight to see the spectacle of sea bird breeding. With 30,000 GUILIMOTS and RAZORBILL, PUFFIN and the rest. So just a few pic's for all.

If you look to the left bottom corner a come up there is a Bridled Guillemot
 
 










Good to see this Bridled Guile with a chick. I wonder if this will continue down the line.
