Re: Priority Creatures.

You may have missed your opportunity to get a really decent photo of a Puffin as I think their season may well be over but the ideal place (would be a considerable drive for most) is The Farne Islands in Northumberland. I had the pleasure(?) of going a couple of years ago during the summer on an incredibly rocky boat journey (not the best of seafarers AT ALL). Once there I had to endure the Arctic Terns constantly pecking at my bald head (they are incredibly protective of their young). Apart from that, it was a fantastic visit, LOL.

Here are two of the photos I took whilst on the island.

I'd love to photograph a Badger and a Fox. Haven't really thought about any others yet, just concentrating on my wildflowers

Never again though!

P.S. Some time ago I did add a link to this site from my main website so I hope it's okay including these links. Here's where the Wild About Britain link is on my main site: http://www.igimages.co.uk/_links/naturalhistory.htm
