Birds on Inner Farne 7th June 2018


Inner Farne


The Island closest to the mainland.

Inner Farne hosts the same range of birds as Staple Island, but with the addition of the Terns... mainly Arctic, but also some Common and Sandwich Terns. It also has the luxury of a Loo which is something Staple Island doesn't have!!

Definitely a place where a hat or hood is necessary as the Arctic Terns are very possessive and will protect their nest areas against anything, and continually dive bomb visitors, not always a pleasant experience and I have seen blood spilled!!!
