Inner Farne - 17.7.18
One of the best ways to actual land on any of the Farne Islands, in-fact it's the only way, is to get yourself on a all day boat trip. As part of the trip you will do the tourist part taking in some of the sea bird nest colony's and a couple Grey Seal haul outs which usually takes place at the start and finish of the boat trip. Surprisingly you can get quite close to the seals who are just content to just look at you wondering if you a re a threat.
Being on the boat with all the rocking and rolling the the best lens in my armoury is to use the Canon 100-400, its fast, lightweight and easy to manoeuvre and covers quite a range of distances, and if needed I can slip on the 1.4 extender.
After not seeing any seals on the Skomer trip last week it was nice to see these animals at such a close range.
Atlantic Grey Seal
Occasionally you may get an inquisitive seal that will come quite close and investigate what you are up too !
I am informed this was last years Grey Seal pup, they normally give birth on the East Coast of the UK during months of November - December
