Default Annoying The Local Wildlife.

Hi Guys,

Been way too busy lately but managed a trip to the Farne Islands on Wednesday. Was hoping to photograph the puffins but alas I didn't have time to go ashore and had to settle for shots from the boat whilst the puffins turned their backs to me from the cliff tops.

I did get a decent Shag though (ok, that sounded wrong).

And I managed to make a seal laugh.....

A Mermaid?

Alas, this is what the Puffins thought of me.....

Great set, even though you didn't get to go ashore. Looked like a nice sunnyday. Particularly like the seal LOL

Wonderful wildlife photos. I laughed at the laughing seal. Thanks for sharing and annoying the local wildlife in the process. You delighted us with your photos.
