September arrives

On the up? Farne Island Guillemots? 

Just how bad was it - Puffins this year?

Saturday 1st September comments: Where has time gone? Welcome to September. It’s a big month in the Farnes calendar as the islands will hopefully be buzzing with migrant birds including a few rarities to shout about along the way. The end of the month will also bring our first Grey Seal pup of the autumn and who knows what else as previous Septembers have produced everything from Basking Sharks to Humpback Whales, so anything could happen!

Also over the next few weeks I will be bring you a full 'breeding seabird review' from this year, as we’ll bring you the highs, lows and everything in between. The results are in, everything is counted and now its just a matter of crossing the‘t’s and dotting the ‘i’s. Watch this space as I have plenty of stories to tell and not all good...
