Farne Islands Revisited!

Well it was quite a long time ago that I took this little fella's image , so I thought it was high time that I checked out how the grey seal population of the Farne Islands were getting along. In 2005 the fin nibblers spent their time sneaking-up on us and tasting our fins, this shot, shows one with that "Not me , Mister!" look on its face as he was snapped before making a crafty approach!

So come the merry month of May, Simon & I will be trekking Northwards, close to the old stomping grounds of Geordie-Boy Robbo to see what we can find. The trip has been organised by Sussex Scuba and I think we have snaffled the last two places ....but they might put on extra places if the demand is there! Details on their Web Site.
