I Visited Norway’s Puffin Island

Since I was a kid I've always dreamed of seeing Puffins. I got the opportunity to fly from California, all the way over to a Norwegian island in order to document and photograph a huge Atlantic Puffin colony building a nest. This is that story.

I think we can all agree that Jeremy’s videos just keep getting better!!

[@JeremyNeipp]

Thanks so much for the compliment! I'm honored! ☺️

[@wasil3k]

Yep

[@Oli_K_Nature]

Dear Jeremy, Honestly, this is the best wildlife video I've ever seen, because it has so many emotions and personal thoughts that explain the way to a photo and the dream behind it that it stands out incredibly from all the other youtube creators. Maybe their photos may be better, but the person in your vidos captivates much more. Thank you for that and all the best for the future to you and your family. Enjoy being a dad, because this is bigger than any photo......

[@JeremyNeipp]

Thanks so much for sharing! It encouraging to hear that the story impacted you so much. It was such a great experience in such a holistic way, and I’m glad that represented in the video. I can’t wait to embark on my new journey as a father! ☺️

[@sharineneipp13]

Jeremy brings poetry, nature, God and LIFE full circle, and it is absolutely BEAUTIFUL to watch! The striking way he captures the simple elegance of puffins building a nest home creates a poetic metaphor for his own new journey in life.

[@JeremyNeipp]

Thank you so much for the sweet words ☺️

[@VABrowneMDPhD]

Congratulations on your sons and on achieving an important life milestone! May God bless you and your family, and especially your wife!

Incredible video! The puffin nursery rocker was the icing on the cake. So sweet!

[@JeremyNeipp]

Thank you! I thought it was nice too :)

[@juanitakelly3082]

Well, that couldn't have been more poignant Jeremy, and you DID bring me to tears which never happens watching You Tube photography videos! Well done on the video and congrats on fatherhood!!

[@JeremyNeipp]

Thank you so much Juanita! Such an encouraging compliment to hear that it made such an impact and I couldn’t be more excited for my future! Thanks for the comment ☺️

[@AlexMcDougallPhotography]

Brilliant as ever Jeremy, puffins are always awesome. Incredibly emotive faces. Oh congratulations, now the hard work begins.😂😂 Thank you

[@JeremyNeipp]

Haha yep that’s what I’ve been told 😂 super excited for it though!

[@michelledalton6939]

Well this made me cry! Well done and congratulations! Also, some wonderful photos!

[@JeremyNeipp]

Thank you so much! :)

[@wattswildlifephoto]

Incredible work Jeremy! My favorite video of yours yet 🙌👊 and those puffin shots at the end are just perfection.

[@JeremyNeipp]

Thanks so much Evan!! Honored to hear and thanks for all your support always ☺️

[@garydubberly6608]

Great video & congratulations on your twins! My wife and I have just returned from Newfoundland where we finally were able to photograph and video those adorable puffins. We were lucky in that we had no vast crowds as it was late May. The same birds you encountered we did as well. Puffins seem to induce the same response as the northern lights in humans, a constant smile, like a child at Christmas. We missed them in Iceland, Faroe Islands, Wales and Scotland but we finally planned correctly and achieved our goal. I’m almost 80 so our timing was good. Norway looks like a great place as well, beautiful cliffs and very photogenic. Thank you very much for sharing and again congratulations.

[@JeremyNeipp]

So cool! Yea it's good to go there slightly early in the season so you can avoid the crowds as much as possible. Was an unforgettable experience and I'm glad you were able to experience something similar. Thanks for the wishes on the twins, I'm beyond excited! :)

The video touched a sensitive thread in my heart.... Amazing, mesmerizing- these words don't even express to what I am feeling right now. The birds, the beauty of Norway, your voice over has transported me to a different world. Keep exploring, photographing and sharing with us. ❤ from India.

The wildlife photography community is blessed to have you, man. Well done. The perspective you bring into your storytelling gives your video so much purpose, filled with gratitude and humbled by the experience and then giving credit to God. Your sons have a bright future with you as their father.

Fantastic video Jeremy. Puffins are fantastic, I've seen them only once and I hope to photograph them in future, maybe with gannets as well. Great land Norway.

[@JeremyNeipp]

Thanks so much Kyle! Honored to hear :) thanks for the well wishes!!

[@cameraprepper7938]

Nice video. I have been to Norway many times and I have visited the Island Runde 5 times. I think Norway is the most beautiful country in the World, it has got the Sea, the Mounatins, the Valleys, the Lakes, the Rivers, the Forest, just about everything for Nature, Birds and Wildlife. I have got hundreds of photos of Puffins. My first visit to Norway was in 1970, since then and specially the last 20 years many Birds species have declined all over Norway due to climate change.

[@JeremyNeipp]

Thank you! I agree, it's an amazing country with pretty unparalleled beauty! My extended cut coming out in October will feature more of the scenery. And yea the seabird declines are pretty crazy. On Runde what I learned is that it's mostly due to overfishing more than anything actually. The lack of fish in the north Atlantic ocean is making it much harder for those seabird colonies to survive.

[@cameraprepper7938]

@@JeremyNeipp I know, I have seen the decline on Runde and migration counts of specially the Black-legged kittiwake and the Parasitic jaeger/Arctic skua which are dependant of the Kittiwakes. If you go to Runde again, you must also visit the (almost) nearby Dovrefjell, Jotunheimen and Rondane with spectacular beautiful Mountains and speciel Bird and Wildlife.

[@paulpantorilla6121]
