Surprised no replies, see if mine kicks them off..

Maybe no wildlife, or not seabirds anyway, but you have the delights of Northumberland on your doorstep from there. Coastal castles to photograph, Hadrians wall to visit perhaps. Holy Island gotta be worth visiting Id have thought. The worlds your bivalve mollusc.

Hi there
We went to Seahouses a couple of weeks ago and took a sailaround trip to the Farne islands. There were quite a few seals around, but other than some shags, not much in the way of bird life. There's still plenty to keep you busy with you're camera though if you like landscape photography. I've not been to Northumberland since I was a kid, some 25 years ago and I loved it - can't wait to go back.

I went last week. A few cormorants, shags and seals - that's all.
