Inner Farne - 04.07.2025
To finish up on the blog post on the recent Farne’s Islands trip.
I’m back on Inner Farne although the start species on the island are the puffins the other major attraction you’ll encounter are Arctic Terns, but it’s easy to overlook other stuff also in the brief one hour slot. I’ve manage a second trip so hopefully I can catch up with the other less common species missed on the first visit.
At the jetty area a Ringed Plover has set up territory, it’s giving the tern chicks a hard time relentlessly attacking any that ventures nears it’s nest, it landing on the rocks slightly obscured by a rope but it’s ok and I rattle off a few shots, time to move on and spend some time with the terns.
This year the Arctic Terns are mainly located only around the church buildings, sitting on walls they add to the the cacophony of noise, just keep your wits about you avoiding the arial attack or the “white stuff”
The wind’s up today so strong in fact that I’ve had to remove the lens hood to give me a chance of keeping the lens from swing about.To finish off in the remaining minuets it’s a last few images of the puffins and that’s it, time over.
See you next year.
