Here are a few shots of puffins with beakfuls of goodies for their hungry pufflings taken on Staple Island, Inner Farne.  These  puffins were the lucky ones as most returning with beakfuls of sand eels bore the brunt of the much larger and sand eel-thieving gulls. ‘Tis a hard life indeed.

Here are a few shots of grey seals including pups taken during a trip to the Farne Islands.  Spotting the seals was not a problem on the day as there were literally hundreds either swimming or just simply at rest.
