Farne Islands

 I haven’t been to the Farne Islands for a long time so when I asked my wife if she fancied a trip I was surprised when she said yes (she could get sea sick on a Lilo and believe it or not her dad was in the Merchant Navy) so I booked a trip straight away with Billy Shield. It was a great day out and my wife even enjoyed her time on the boat but the highlight was our time spent on the Island photographing the birds.

Unfortunately, for you the viewer, because of the number of images I have there are more parts to these Blogs than I thought.

I have never seen as many Scotch Argus butterflies during visits to Mull they were everywhere

I had the moth trap out during the first week of our holiday and this beetle, which was covered in mites, was in the trap
