Farne-tastic pix (sorry Rich)

Thanks for these great shots from Rich Steel (the link to his website is on the homepage) which he got on a trip up to the north east recently.
Just look at this Arctic Tern....

Gorgeous stuff.
Rich explains: "Took a trip up to the Farne Islands a couple of weeks back and thought you might like to see some shots. Great place and I will have to return as we never got to land on Staple Island. As if I need an excuse to return!!!
The attached shots were taken at Seahouses and on the Inner Farne Island. Unfortunately we only got a 2 hour landing time, due to some early weather delays, and the brief time there passed far too quickly!!"

Both Little Owl and Red Legged Partridge produced young at Marshside this week!

Awesome shots, just makes you droool with envy.
Went up to Leighton Moss today thankfully hordes of twitchers finally gone along with the bird I think?
Highlight of the day was watching the juv Peregrine at Warton, now fully fledged being given a Jackdaw to eat.
Quick flyover of Marsh Harrier, but still struggling to get me a Bittern.
