I know that there are lots of images on show of the Northern
Lights as seen from the Northumberland coast in recent times, but I think that
it’s a fair bet that there aren’t many
(if any) that were taken from Coquet Island.
In fact there can’t be many people in recent times who have viewed the
Northern Lights from Coquet
Island. Sam had the privilege of watching the lights
from the island whilst out there volunteering for a week, helping prepare the
island for the return of nesting birds including of course the Roseate
Terns. Sam has kindly sent me a few
images and I asked if I could put a couple on my blog.

I know Sam has learned much from his experiences on Coquet Island
and has received great support from the staff who manage the island. None of us ought to forget the work of staff
and volunteers that goes on behind the scenes on places such as Coquet Island,
whilst we enjoy watching birds and other wildlife in Northumberland.

A nice bonus for Sam while volunteering there Brian and a great place to capture it from. Superb images !
ReplyDeleteCheers John. Sam began his week on the Sunday and the lights appeared that night so it was quite a start for him. I believe there was some hard work, cold and damp dismal days during the week to balance things out a bit.
