The Farne Islands

Last Thursday I made the long journey up to the Farne Islands, I just adore these Islands and the boat trip across. It was a glorious day, wall to wall sunshine and clear blue skies. I vowed that on this visit to take in the whole atmosphere of the islands a lot more, but I still managed to rattle off 2000+ shots in the 4/5 hours I was on the Islands. This first post is some shots of the many Grey Seals that inhabit the Islands, cumbersome on land but ever so graceful in the clear blue waters of the islands. Seabird shots to follow later.
