Dance written in memory of Peter Hawkey who died in 2006. Peter was Warden on the Farne Islands for many years and it was extremely interesting to listen to him talking about the bird life, especially the Puffins. Peter and his wife Joyce rarely missed local dances and travelled great distances to go to dances in other areas and abroad.
Table rows with a green background denote recordings starting with one of the recommended tunes and the usual number of repetitions for the dance (8). A yellow background means a recording with one of the recommended tunes but a non-standard number of repetitions. Recordings with a red background use a different tune and possibly a non-standard number of repetitions.
