Eyemouth is something of an undiscovered treasure. This busy fishing port is tucked away on the Berwickshire coast and it’s easy to miss if you’re heading to St Abb’s Head, its picturesque neighbour. This authentic coastal town is worth a visit, even if it is a little rough around the edges. […]
It’s bird bonanza time on the Farne Islands as migrating birds flock onto the islands for the summer season. This makes the Farnes one of my top summer holiday trips. For our feathered friends, this is more than a bird vacation. They are here for romance and – let’s be […]
Have you ever wondered how you go about weighing a seal pup? It’s an odd question which I found myself asking when I visited the Seal Rehabilitation Centre in Holland. Every year, dozens of seals are abandoned or become sick on the Dutch coast as a result of pollution or getting trapped […]
It wasn’t my first whale watching trip but it was definitely one of the best. A perfect summer day in Maine on a lovely boat in Boothbay Harbor with calm seas and a bright, blue skies. I’m never at my best on boats but this memorable trip soon […]
The West Frisian Islands are Holland’s wildest and most remote travel destination. They are what you might call ‘the back of beyond’. You can’t get much further north than this archipelago of islands which form a chain off the tip of Holland in the Wadden Sea. The islands are on UNESCO’s World Heritage Sites […]

This weekend will go down as one of the stormiest in the UK in recent decades and although North East England didn’t get the battering that the south coast received, it was still pretty wild. Teesside is a great place for autumn birds as well as seals and […]
Autumn arrived with a vengeance this week – cold, gusty winds shook the leaves off the trees and sent a shiver down our spines in the UK. But what a thrill to see the seasons changing as summer’s glow faded and autumn’s orange hues appeared together with a […]
By Tammy Tour Guide and Tony van Diesel Wildlife watching is a wonderful and thrilling experience – until it goes slightly pear-shaped. It’s when you get a little too close to nature for comfort that the call of the wild can take on a more dangerous meaning! So here’s […]
Puffins are back for the summer! It’s a great season to watch these birds in their full glory along the north east coast of England as they start to raise their chicks or ”pufflings’. Thirty thousand puffins live on Coquet Island, a tiny rocky isle, a mile from the harbour town of Amble on the Northumberland […]
