Arctic terns fly above the Farne Islands off the Northumberland coast, northern England July 8, 2013. The Farne Islands, which lie off the coast of northeast England, are home to a huge array of wildlife. The islands are owned and protected by the British conservation charity, the National Trust, which says they host some 23 species of seabird, as well as a substantial colony of grey seals, who come to have their pups there in the autumn. Every five years the National Trust carries out a census of the islands population of puffins, and this years survey showed there were almost 40, 000 nesting pairs on the islands - an 8 percent rise from 2008.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing sight of Arctic terns gracefully soaring above the picturesque Farne Islands, located off the Northumberland coast in northern England. These islands, owned and protected by the esteemed British conservation charity, the National Trust, are a haven for an incredible variety of wildlife. The Farne Islands boast an impressive 23 species of seabirds and serve as a vital breeding ground for a substantial colony of grey seals. In this image taken on July 8,2013, photographer Nigel Roddis showcases the beauty and diversity found within these protected lands. The annual census conducted by the National Trust revealed that there has been an encouraging increase in nesting pairs of puffins on the islands over recent years. In fact, this year's survey recorded almost 40,000 nesting pairs - an uplifting rise of 8 percent since 2008. The enchanting scene depicted here reminds us of nature's resilience and its ability to thrive when given proper care and protection. It serves as a testament to both human efforts in conservation and the remarkable wonders that can be found within our natural world
