    😍😍😍 love it !!! Beautiful shots of the Puffins , always so lovely to see them. I’d forgotten how stunning Skomer looks at this time of year with all the Bluebells and Pink Campion. Mr. Stonechat was very accommodating 😊. What a day !!!

    Hello both. I'm booked onto a day trip later in June. Hopefully I'll actually get there this year. I seem to be a bit unlucky when it comes to Skomer as I've missed several trips to being ill at the wrong time. Last year I was due to have a two night stay over but in the end had to give up the trip to a colleague.....bummer.
    Fingers crossed this year....

      Yes hopefully you will get there this year and June is a great time to visit plenty of Puffins returning with mouthfuls of Sandeels. Overnight would have been awesome the best light and pretty much the island to yourself that was a bummer not getting to go so fingers crossed the day trip goes to plan 😀

      That will be a really good week to be there as Puffins will be very busy feeding the Pufflings so plenty of opportunity for pics with Puffins with mouthfuls of Sandeels 😀

    Great vid really liked your pics, I am going in a few weeks for the first time, could you advise me on what clothing to take, is there any particular part I must go to, will a 150-600mm and a 70-200mm be adequate or should I take different lenses???? I really appreciate any advice

    • @craignicoll001
      @craignicoll001  Před 15 dny +1

      Thank you glad you enjoyed my video 😀 Clothing will depend on the day l would definitely take a packable rain jacket as weather can easily change and good walking boots as paths can be rugged in parts. I personally would go with the 150-600mm as plenty of reach for smaller birds and Short Eared Owls if you’re lucky.
      Due to congestion they want you to walk around in an anticlockwise direction so you will pass all the good spots for Puffins such as the Wick and High Cliff but you will see plenty at North Haven as soon as you climb the steps after leaving the boat.
      I wouldn’t bother taking a tripod as very few places it could be used without getting in peoples way.
      Hopefully the weather will be kind and you have a great trip and come away with plenty of cracking images 😀

      It’s a place called High Cliff overlooking South Haven a really good spot to catch Puffins in flight as you can track them from a good distance they are still very quick though 😀
