May 16. May 16. ALL DAY BIRD WATCH (STAPLE ISLAND & INNER FARNE) This tour is particularly suitable for the enthusiastic ornithologist and photographer or anyone who wishes to spend more time observing the wealth of nesting species. The trip departs at 10am and only runs during the breeding season (May, June and July). It lasts approximately 5 1/2 hours and allows 2 hours on Staple Island in the morning and 2 hours on Inner Farne in the afternoon. It is recommended you take a packed lunch as there are no facilities on the islands.

National Trust members land free of charge and non-members pay a landing fee to the National Trust wardens on both islands (see boat fares and landing fees). The tour also includes a cruise around all the islands to view nesting seabirds on the cliff faces and the Grey Seal colonies at several vantage points.
Inner Farne and Staple Island are major sanctuaries in the UK for about 22 species of breeding seabirds, including Guillemots, Razorbills, Eider Ducks, 4 species of Terns and a staggering 70,000 Puffins.

May 16. These cute Puffins were abundant on both Inner and Staple Is. We were told by the warden most of the females were sitting on eggs underground...unfortunately I did not capture any Puffins carrying sandeels in their beaks but got many shots. If anyone is thinking of the all day birding trip I would recommend this but the tour company will not give a garrantee they will land on Staple Is unless its safe to do so. So be warned, you pay the money but take a chance...we were very lucky.
