Took a trip to the Farne Islands earlier this week, and what a spectacle! Some 150,000 birds were in residence on the islands, with Common, Arctic and Sandwich Terns, Guillemots, Razor Bills, Shags, Cormorants, Kittiwakes and some 40,000 Puffins making up the majority. The noise (and the smell!) was beyond belief, and every available ledge, crevis, nook and cranny was occupied by a bird. Well worth a visit.
