Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
It's not strictly bushcrafty but I took a trip yesterday out to the Farne Islands and I thought you might like to see some of the piccies...
Hope you like them.

Great pics, I'm lucky enough to live near-ish Bempton cliffs which are home to gannets, Puffins and loads of other seabirds. I've yet to get some good pics of Puffins so well done and thanks for sharing.
What camera are you using by the way?

I used to be professional but I consider myself a hobbyist now (Although my library will probably end up being my pension one day.)
I'm using a Canon 5D and a couple of marque zooms for most of my stuff. It's a lot lighter than lugging my old film outfit around.
Of course they would be considered ancient technology these days.

Hate you - this is my shot of a puffin and the only reason I knew it was a puffin at the time was cos the guy on the boat with me told me so! And if I zoom in really tight to the picture I can just about make out the puffin shape
I did get this later in the day though and do you know how hard it is to photograph these?!
This was better though
Minke whale if you're wondering and the're all taken on the Isle of Skye

Nice one.
I haven't got a Minke but I have got a Sperm Whale...
Taken off the North coast of Norway.

Lovely photos Wayland, you need your hat on when you're on the Farnes with all those divebombing terns
Those photos are great. I found on farne you can get so close and they just dont bother.
I did some work for the national trust up at farne about four years ago. They wanted me to create a booklet and some cartoon character birds. Simon the Shag I remember was one of them. I have no idea if they used them anywhere or not, but I had a great trip and the wardens pulled a baby puffin out the hole to show me.

I didn't notice them anywhere but I was out photographing the birds most of the time so I didn't really look into the visitor center.
Aw
I was wondering because I suddenly got a cheque for 70 quid from the national trust last week. I cant think why unless they reused my stuff. I did the origional work for free so I havent phoned them to ask why incase it was a mistake!
lovely photos! Was on isles of scilly last weekend and saw a white puffin. never seen one before but mate took a photo so i'll try to get it from her to post up.

"Saw a puffin with a sandeel" - how the heck do you get the sandeel sharp enough to do that? - and is it not a bit cruel?
Seriously tho' they are fantastic shots.
