Over the last few weeks things have been busy around the Farnes. We have had T.V Crews filming, Star stuck Rangers, Chicks appearing for the first time, Cliff Counts, Beautiful weather and Calm Sea’s. What more could you ask for in the day to day events around the Farne Islands.

Where do I start……Well I will tell you. It has to start with the Rangers. They do love their jobs but it is hard work. Early mornings doing bird counts then helping myself and other boats coming and going, then back to more counts and much more.

This is some of the Rangers on their Zodic doing cliff counts for Razorbills and so far things look ok for them.

The Inner Farne had a TV celebrity in Elle Harrison doing her thing and talking to some of the Rangers.

Ranger Ciaran doing some interviews about the birds on the Islands. 

We have noticed Puffins still mating on the water.

But we have seen new lives looking out for the first time.

 Eider Ducks chicks are back in the harbour

 We have had great Sunset Cruises and great skies.

Beautiful light for taking pictures.

 We have seen some old knackered birds and some young ones. 

To top it all off we got our Yellow Billed Bridled Guillemot again today. 

To be honest we have been very lucky over the last 22 days as we have had some cracking weather and we have been lucky with the rain to as it’s either missed us or we have had it through the night. What more can you want….Until next time
