Our day trip to Staple Island and Inner Farne was a magical experience as thousands of seabirds filled the air with their sounds, smells, flyovers and whitewash. The intimate cliff top spectacle of Shags, Kittiwakes, Razorbills, Puffins and rowdy Guillemots, bringing fish longer than their tiny chicks, was amazing while the 'in your face' Arctic Terns were a real knockout. Back on the mainland our trip list grew and grew, including super views of singing Sedge and Grasshopper Warblers. Just when it couldn't get any better, our last three sightings included a Spoonbill, a Little Gull and even a Glaucous Gull!
