Wow, stunning photos Tim.The osprey, red kites and the puffins are fantastic.I have a boat trip booked for June to visit the Farne Isles, Staple Island & Inner Farne so hopefully we get good weather.I have never been before though did get close to puffins on Skomer last year. May I ask what camera & lens set up you have Tim? |

Thanks raptorwatcher. You will love the Farnes. You don't need a huge lens as you will get very close to most of the birds but a fast lens is good for capturing them in flight. I generally use my Canon EOS 1D Mk 3 with a 100-400mm IS L lens for wildlife. Not the fastest lens but I can't quite justify £6000 for a better one. If you have a decent 300mm lens it will do the job. I also have a 24-105 for wider angle and a 100mm IS L macro, which is awesome for close up work. Enjoy your trip and get some great shots. Late June to early July is great for chicks too. |

Thanks Tim.:) I have a canon 60d with 75-300mm lens though want to upgrade to the 100-400mm f5.6 lens. I do have a 100mm macro too, mainly for dragonflies and moths:)when there are some.lol |

No problem raptorwatcher. The 75-300 is a nice lens and will be fine for the Farne Islands I'm sure. If you do upgrade the 400mm prime is a good option if you don't need the versatility of the zoom. |
