Holly I think you just got a new fan of your vlogs, my cat! 😊 I have never seen him so focus watching tv. He seemed so entertained not only watching the puffins, but also watching you draw. Anyway, love this vlog and I can see why that was one of the best days of your life! Those puffins are sooo cute!! Thank you for sharing. This was the best way to end my day! Thank you! Thank you!

💚

Aww, I've always loved puffins - they always look so worried! What a privilege to see them up close - thank you for sharing, Holly! 🧡

The puffins are gorgeous, but honestly, I couldn't get over how stunning you looked in the green beanie and jumper with that bright yellow of your back pack straps. Those colours are amazing on you. It's such a privilege to be able to walk amongst wildlife that is not terrified of humans. Of course with just about every animal having been mercilessly hunted it's not surprising that most species hate and fear us.

How gorgeous! The islands look beautiful, even on a rainy, grey day. Plus the puffins are adorable! You’ve inspired me to pick up my watercolours again :)

I would have loved to stand and walk next to you Holly. Such precious moments, I'm really happy for you that you got to experience that. 💛

what an amazing trip! All those birds. I may have cried a bit too had I been there. Good news with the election in France ✊🏾

What a beautiful experience , such a cute bird , they move so funny . The sketches are amazing too ! I am glad for you that you had such a wonderful day .

How beautiful Holly. We are very lucky in Tasmania (Australia) where I live as there are dolphins regularly in our waters. Such a treat. Puffins on the other hand, you're so lucky to have spent time with them. I'm embarrassed to say that I thought they were flightless birds! Your sketches are delightful x Nell.

You're in Mull, you don't need to go on a tour to see puffins, there are pockets of them on the island, find the local ranger service and pick their brains. Quiet puffin sketching awaits.

OMG the puffins! Seeing puffins is on my 'bucket list', I'm so jealous (in a good way 😉). Thanks for this video, we can now enjoy puffins too 😍

ah puffins! What a magaical experience! One day I'd love to see them too x

what a dream :)

I love this series

💜💜💜💜

Loved this video, Holly! It was really moving.

I love that baby puffins are called pufflings!!!!!🥰🥰🥰

So brilliant that you great to do something you've always wanted to do,Puffins are extraordinary little birds,and also the added bonus of seeing the dolphins too a definitely magical day for sure, I'd have been emtional too. Your paintings and drawings captured them so well. You always include stunning drone footage too which really shows amazing the landscape of mull is in all weathers. (matt) P.s hope you do decide to return to puffin island with your sketchbook,capturing them en plein eir would be realy inspiring I'm sure. The puffin would make cute sticker designs maybe...

Aww! So beautiful ❤

Oh Holly! I'd be crying, too. What a magical experience you had, beautiful scenery teeming with wildlife that's flourishing. Puffins are my favorite bird, so one day I hope to encounter them in the wild the same way you have.

Soo cool! Last week I heard the Oologies podcast they were talking about Puffins and learn a lot :)

Gracias Holly por mostrar los puffins, los amo, son tan hermosos. Saludos amorosos 💜💜💜

I saw some puffins in Iceland, and it was also one of the best days of my life! I've been thinking of you a lot up there in Scotland... we (and all the birds and animals) are roasting in heat wave after heat wave here in the North East of the United States. It's 40 degrees during the day, 30 at night, and most people around me brush it off as "summer weather." I find nobody to share my climate distress with...

Holly, is there something on your greyhounds tummy in the video at 8.04?

I love your plein air work Hollty. It should lood different from the "studio" work because it is! And I think your nest drawing is stunning. Not an easy subject to capture, but you did it justice. And as always, thank you for the recommendation of books!

☺👏🙂

Puffins! How beautiful.

It's a wonderful place and not overcrowded with tourists. In Brittany where I live, we have puffins too , we call them macareux, they usually live on an island not far from the continent, and when we are lucky we can see some of them on the continent on wild beaches where they find food. I like the sound of their voice too. Thank you for sharing this beautiful video !

What an incredible experience! When I was little I thought puffins were a made up creature. I hope you’ll look to sell prints of your puffin sketches

What a wonderful experience 😍! I would love to see them. I cried when i saw a red squirrel 😂xxx

I was worried you changed your schedule to every other week! Glad you're feeling better :) Lovely video as always X

Puffins - and pufflings! I've been to the RSPB sanctuary near Scarborough and saw some cheeky seals while I was there - I'm so glad you got your dolphin moment x

Just paused this at 14:47 - Holly, I think this is my fave video you have made. Seeing puffins is on my bucket list too and this has given me a kick up the bum to go, so thank you! Also, your camera work is fantastic - did you have classes or figure it out by yourself? Oh, and maybe you need a tshirt that says ‘artist at work, do not disturb’ 😂. Another thing - it’s so nice the presence of people is beneficial for puffins, good to know. Anyway, back to vid…

Love this video, Holly. So calming and uplifting and the puffins are just amazing. I think my Etsy order might have been one of the ones you mentioned - I adore the Snoot Set stickers! I just wanted to comment here that they are much more than just stickers - they are works of art in sticker form. They capture your appreciation of the quirky nature of the natural world and everyone should order a set as they are just so lovely and well made.

Thank you Holly for taking us on this lovely adventure. I thought Puffins were larger too. They are really sweet and your illustrations of them are perfect as always! 👍🤗 Hope you will be able to revisit the Island. xxx

Craig is damn right, I'm buying this so called ghibli postcard any time !!!

I was surprised to see that this video is 3 years old, its so accurate to the current state of insta. I think an argument could be made that insta is slowly desensitizing well-meaning people to unpaid labor. I love all the points u make ab how precious time is...! :) Happy i found ur channel today. 🐝🐝

Holly this is just amazing what an absolute priviledge to see these beautiful birds in the wild! Loved this and love your new series, ps hope you are feeling better now and looking forward to watching more of your adventures!

Love the drawings you did! So cute and such nice detail as always.

Staffa looks super neat, the shapes and texture of the volcanic rocks is so cool! Taking photos/videos would be so fun 😊

so many people on that tour with nice cameras!

pufflings is the cutest word ever omg 💕🥹 so happy for you that you got to see them in person!! also, I have to say, doing a tour on your own is brave as someone who deals with anxiety lol!

Lovely vlog Holly! It takes bravery to paint/sketch on location, beautiful work!

not only that you produce beautiful paintings but you also have beautiful soul 🇵🇸

Glad you will continue posting lifestyle content along with the art content. I started following you when you were posting mostly art but then stayed because I loved the snippets you shared of your life and your beliefs, which are so much alike mine. You are one of my favorite content creators and a huge inspiration for changing my diet (6 years meat free 🙌). Hope you have a lovely summer in Scotland ❤

Thank you for the painting inspiration and book recommendations. I just took my sketchbook away on holiday and brought it back untouched - I let myself get distracted by people too much. I'll definitely make a point of taking myself off alone and then begin tackling what you discuss here 😉 x

Very late to these videos having moved house last month but had to leave a comment about the first impression thing when your shy because I totally relate - my partner of now nearly 7 years told me that on the first date he thought I didn’t like him but I was just being my super shy self 😅 luckily he didn’t give up on me!

Holly your paintings are WONDERFUL! I love the landscape :)

Such a lovely video, Holly! ❤❤❤ I completely agree with Craig about your brilliant painting of the lighthouse. Really really love it. I also especially like the water in the eider ducks painting. As a printmaker, I also enjoyed seeing the glimpses of the Glasgow Printmakers exhibition in An Tobar.
