***PUFFIN NUMBERS UP*** the Isle of May Puffin population has increased since our last full census of the population in 2017. The blog has the full story; isleofmaynnr.wordpress.com
Some photos from The Farnes plus a clever fellow outside the ‘Chippy’ in Filey He was a bit camera shy The boxes for the Artic Terns are apparently helping Although numbers are so much smaller than a few years ago 💔 All from my iPad
And it’s off! A Puffling experiencing the power of flight for the first time as it fledges off the Isle of May

The Rathlin seabird season is racing by so quickly! We're already seeing many of the Puffins preparing to leave, and some with big pufflings still in their burrows won't be far behind. Just a few late Razorbill and Common Guillemot chicks left now too #SuperSeabirdSunday
It's #SuperSeabirdSunday where you get to Share/QP your favourite #Seabird captures. Here's my set with a Fulmar, Guillemot (and lunch), Puffin & Artic Tern captured on the Inner Farne Landing Cruise in June #birds #EastCoastKin #photography #ukbirding #wildlife #birdphotography
