Puffin with Sand eels and Squid
Classic portrait of a puffin with beak full of sand eels. If you look closely you can even see a squid at the tip of the beak! The Farne Islands offer one of the best opportunities worldwide to get up close and personal with these charismatic birds.
During the summertime around 150,000 breeding pairs of seabirds flock to the Farne Islands to nest. With such huge numbers crammed onto these tiny islands they are undoubtedly one of the best places in the UK to get close to sea birds.
