2025 Northumberland Wildlife Spectacular

Join us on the 18th, 19th and 20th June or 2nd, 3rd and 4th July on an incredible wildlife watching and photography trip to the Northumberland coast. We will be visiting the Farne Islands, Coquet Island (no landing allowed) and Long Nanny Nature Reserve including other areas of natural beauty.

This is one of the UK’s seabird photography hotspots, with over 20 species of seabird - including over 90,000 Puffins, Guillemots, Razorbills, Kittiwakes, Fulmars, Shags, Arctic Terns, Common Terns, Sandwich Terns, Little Terns and the very rare Roseate Tern. We also have the opportunity of photographing the Grey Seal colony and a chance of Bottlenose Dolphin and Harbour Porpoise on our journey to and from the islands. 

Trip Details: This trip is ideal for those wanting to see and learn about the wildlife and habitats of the Northumberland coast.
