Shag (Phalacrocorax aristotelis) on cliff nest, Inner Farne, Farne Islands, off the coast of Northumberland, British Isles

---

In the warmer months the Farnes, an important wildlife habitat, are much-visited by boat trips from Seahouses. Local boats are licensed to land passengers on Inner Farne, Staple Island and the Longstone; landing on other islands is prohibited to protect the wildlife. At the right time of year, many puffins can be seen, as well as cliff nesting seabirds such as Shags, Guillemots, Razorbills, Kittiwakes and Fulmars
