Another boat journey to the Farne Islands to see the Atlantic Puffins and Eider ducks on Inner Farne - 12th May 2026

Views from Seahouses while waiting to board the boat:

Inner Farne in the distance

and other Farne Islands and the Longstone lighthouse

Bamburgh castle on the mainland

The boat journey went past Staple Island, where many Guillemots were standing on the cliffs


Eider ducks were on rock near the landing stage on Inner Farne

This time I saw some Atlantic Puffins standing on the edge of Inner Farne

or alone
