The Farne Islands are a group of rocky islands off the northeast coast of England, near Seahouses in Northumberland. They are famous for their wildlife, particularly seabirds and grey seals. The islands are managed by the National Trust and are an important breeding ground for thousands of birds, including puffins, Arctic terns, guillemots, and kittiwakes.

This image depicts a coastal scene with a lighthouse situated on a rocky outcrop. The lighthouse is painted red and white and stands prominently against the backdrop of a partly cloudy sky. The sea is calm, with gentle waves stretching across the foreground, while the rocky cliff extends along the horizon, leading to the lighthouse.

The image shows a rocky cliff under a partly cloudy sky. Several birds are perched along the edge of the cliff, silhouetted against the sky. The rock surface appears rugged and uneven, with patches of green vegetation at the top. The clouds are scattered, allowing some sunlight to illuminate the scene.

The islands are managed by the National Trust and are an important breeding ground for thousands of birds, including puffins, Arctic terns, guillemots, and kittiwakes.

This image shows a natural rock formation emerging from a body of water. The rocks appear tall and rugged, with a grayish color and some white patches, possibly from bird droppings or lichen. The water is calm and reflects the blue sky above, which is dotted with scattered clouds. Numerous birds are flying around the rocks and above the water, indicating a lively habitat. The overall scene conveys a sense of tranquility and natural beauty.

​I helped pick up 6,000 dead birds last summer. This is what I learned about the horrors of bird flu."Often, sick #birds gathered together in particular areas. On Brownsman, which is one of the outer group of islands, the sick #kittiwakes would take themselves away from other birds and gather around a specific pond. All the birds sitting around that pond were dying" #avianflu

UK may ban sandeel fishing in move to save threatened seabirds, especially puffins and kittiwakes.

The tiny fish are not even caught to be eaten by humans. Disgracefully, they are harvested to be made into feed for farmed salmon and livestock.
