Mallard Update
Well our Mallards are doing really well. They are growing up very quickly and it will not be long before they fly the nest. So to speak.

Puffintastic
Since it's the year of the Puffin at the Farne Islands I have decided to show you some of my pictures I have got over the last week or so. I also noticed today that their were less Puffins on the water and more on the Islands and I did see a few Puffins with sand eels in their bills. [...]
Serenity Sunset Cruises

Well our Sunset Cruises have started again and we went out on Tuesday 21st May for our first trip of the year. We could not have asked for a better night for it.
