I spent a week in Berwick-upon-Tweed in June and, in the early afternoon while waiting for my accommodation to be ready, I went for a short walk near the holiday park
Lovely Foxgloves were growing in front of a stone wall
Bright red Snapdragons amongst greenery
The next morning I visited Castle Vale Park as I had time to spare before catching the bus to Seahouses
Beautiful Candelabra Primroses were growing near the top of the steps down to the river
A rather splendid tall Foxglove amongst the shrubs

On arrival in Seahouses, I went to the harbour. A male Eider duck was standing on rocks below the harbour wall.
There was also a young male Eider duck wandering around on the rocks
I went on a boat trip round the Farne Islands. A seal was swimming around near one of the Farnes.

Atlantic Puffin peering down from the edge of a cliff on one of the islands
There were many groups of Atlantic Puffins on Inner Farne, where we landed for just one hour
This Puffin had a beak full of sand eels
The Arctic Terns were in attack mode due to nesting at the edge of the boardwalk
Our boat moored just off Inner Farne for the hour we were on the island

Back at Seahouses I had some spare time to fill before getting the bus back to Berwick-upon-Tweed so I wandered round the edge of the harbour where a male Eider duck was resting
There were several female Eiders in the same area. This one was preening her feathers.
Another nearby female was wandering around with three fluffy little Eider ducklings
The ducklings knew no fear and wandered right up to me and my shadow!
