It was the calm before the storm and when it came by god did it come.
All our thoughts were with the wardens and the birds. It's a critical time at The Farne Islands with all the birds eggs hatching.
The one thing that is in favour for the birds is that its a west wind and not a Northerly, North East or Easterly. If it had been that direction I think it would have been a disaster. We would not only be worrying about the birds but I would not have had much sleep as I would be checking the boats all the time.
Don't get me wrong i think we would have lost alot of birds but not half as much had it been the other way.
