fine, clean sand ... and an empty beach

A somewhat soggy Ben hoping that I will lob his stick again. I will, Ben, I will, you just need a breather while I take this picture ...

Looking out to Inner Farne, the rest are further out. Just a little further to the right, one of the trip boats is heading back to Seahouses. Gentle waves lapping the sand on the beach (didn't realise that Ben had snuck into the frame !) and some very warm sun. Quite a break from normal.

After several swims, chasing the big stick, Ben has decided a good shake is in order. My shot missed the rainbow he produced.

Very pleased with himself, but that stick is about to escape !

Looking across rocks [scars] on the beach out to Inner Farne - the lighthouse is quite clear, as are some of the other islands in the group.

Leaving Inner Farne behind on the return passage to Seahouses. The white stain on the cliffs was caused by the support systems for the lighthouse - unlike the patchy guano deposits elsewhere. The old light tower on Brownsman Island is visible to the left of the Inner Farne Lighthouse.

Looking at the Inner Farne cliff that faces the mainland. The large white stain was made by waste discharged by the lighthouse, the guano visible in other areas is far more patchy.

Farne Islands from Seahouses. Left is Inner Farne (lighthouse) in the middle are Staple and Brownsman (tower) and to the right is Longstone (red and white lighthouse). Depending on the state of the tide, there are between 15 and 20 islands in the group.
