Seabirds of the Bass rock and the Farne Isles

The Bass Rock, or simply the Bass, is an island in the outer part of the Firth of Forth in the east of Scotland. Approximately 2 km offshore, and 5 km north-east of North Berwick, it is a steep-sided volcanic plug, 107 m at its highest point, and is home to a large colony of gannets. The Farne Islands are a group of islands in Northumberland. The group has between 15 and 20 islands depending on the level of the tide. They form an archipelago, divided into the Inner and the Outer Group. The main islands in the Inner Group are Inner Farne, Knoxes Reef, the East and West Wideopens (all joined on very low tides), and (somewhat separated) the Megstone; the main islands in the Outer Group are Staple Island, the Brownsman, North and South Wamses, Big Harcar, and Longstone. The two groups are separated by Staple Sound. A total of 303 bird species have been recorded on the Farnes,
