Inner Farne Island

Whilst in Northumberland I took a boat trip to the Inner Farne Island. We spent about an hour wandering around the small island. All the nesting sea birds had long since flown. But on a rocky crag there was one solitary nest with 2 young shags still to take flight, perhaps they were enjoying the limelight just too much.

    Well I could come up with a comment about shags but I had better keep it clean. Wondered what they were but have seen the adults along the Thames

    Great shots of this lonely pair. The craggy cliffs are dramatic too.

    Love that last shot with the youngsters so young and empty headed. The guano covered rocks in the second look like they are ice cliffs. Beautiful captures.
