              Took a little boat trip to Coquet Island in Northumberland yesterday to see the Puffin Colony!

              Difficult buggers to catch on the wing with a little point and shoot from a very rocky boat !!

              Also many Eider ducks and very rare Rosete Terns Click image for larger version

                That looks a fantastic place to visit Steve. We don’t get any of those regularly this far south. The only Terns we get seem to be common tern. Lovely birds, I always think of them as sea swallows. There are a few Puffin off of dancing ledges apparently, but I’ve never seen them, and the only Eider I’ve seen have been at Slimbridge. Love the noise they make though, like a surprised maiden aunt.

                      There's some great pictures in this thread!

                      My house backs on to an area of woodland and old, long-disused sand pits so there is plenty of wildlife hereabouts. However, the resident cat keeps most of it out of the garden.

                      I did pick up this poor chap recently. I think he'd had a terminal impact with the kitchen window.....

                      A treecreeper I believe.

                      The last couple of weeks has seen nightingales return to the woods which has been pleasant to listen to from the comfort of my bed....

                            Nick. Glad you found us. I’ve always heard of a bird tries to fly in your window there’s going to be a Wedding. If one flies in your house means death. It’s a old Wives Tale.

                            Steve. That pics says it all

                              Today I stop at my neighbors lake down the road and took this pics. Looks like they were heading to the Lake. The other day they was on the lake with there little ones but I was in a hurry and couldn’t get a shot. Click image for larger version

                                We visited the Knepp Estate in West Sussex last year to see the only successful breeding White Storks in the UK for several centuries ! Very nice walks and pretty easy to see them flying and on the nest.....
