Colonies looking empty

Wednesday 3rd December comments: Another day and another count. We’ve been on the Seal colonies again today across the Farne Islands and some big news! Staple Island has maintained itself as the number one colony but for the first time in several decades, Brownsman has now become the second largest Grey Seal colony on the Farnes.

Staple Island now boasts 489 pups whilst adjacent Brownsman has 398 pups. Overall the Farnes total has reached 1,625 pups and that’s already fifty above last years total and we’re not finished.


Its now back to the packing as we enter the final few days on the Farnes and plenty still to do…

  2. The Gili Islands is the place you have to visit beeing in Bali. btw was there this winter. We rode to gili from bali on fast boats by easygili.com. At first we found cheap hotel and went there. Yeah, it is cheap.. Gili islands are nicest place in the world: hot and beatiful beaches, fine bungalows, amazing water and many other things. I think you have to visit this place, and its pretty cheap.
