I was getting the bus from Berwick-upon-Tweed to Seahouses and arrived at the station a little early, so I went for a short walk in the nearby park while I was waiting.
View of the Royal Border railway bridge from a bench behind a beautiful rose bush
When in Seahouses, I had time to spare before the boat sailed and saw these Eider ducks in the shallow water near the harbour
View of Inner Farne from Seahouses
We sailed past Staple Island
and the Longstone Lighthouse
Guillemots flying past the boat
and on the rocks
and in the water
Arctic Terns were perching on the rocks at the edge of Inner Farne
One Artic Tern had a Sand Eel in its beak
The island was full of Atlantic Puffins
This Puffin was waiting to cross the human's boardwalk
Puffins were everywhere!
Terns were nesting at the edge of the boardwalk near the landing stage on Inner Farne - and attacked people as they arrived and left. We were told to wear a hat or hood. I also got pecked - and it hurt!
