Farne Isles 8 - Inner Farnes

















A post of the second part of our Farnes trip. After 2 hours on Staple Island we had 20 minutes or so by boat to Inner Farne and the toilets! No such luxury's on Staple Island.

What a glorious place, if you have not been you might have seen on t.v. where Artic Terns attack humans in defence of their young so it pays to have a hat. Several times a bird sat on my hat and had a dig with its bill.

Fantastic birds are Artic Terns, you have to take care as young are sometimes on the board walk, or very close too. I hope you like some pictures of these birds. This is my last post from these isles, honest!

fantastic pictures Mike, at least they don't have talons like the Buzzards. Someone in Devon was attacked by a Buzzard, they dug their talons into this persons head. Thankyou for sharing, I have enjoyed viewing all your pictures of the Farne Isles.
