Puffins: Wildlife Photography on Skomer Island Vlog

Puffins: Wildlife Photography on Skomer Island Vlog
In this video, I had to Skomer Island, just off the coast of Pembrokeshire in Wales. This island is home to thousands of Atlantic puffins (one of the most iconic species of seabirds). I spent a couple of nights here with my Mum to enjoy time on the island and, of course, spend some time out with my camera too in order to film and photograph the puffins.

You are a great photographer.. I also would love to take photos from Puffins. I love them very much. Like 501 ♥

[@PaulGibbings01]

Brilliant video especially the Puffin footage they really are such an iconic little birds. I visited the island for the day yesterday and even that was what I consider early but I did want to see the Bluebells and Pink Campion. The wildlife did not fail to deliver though as plenty of Puffins and other birds to photograph its definitely a must place to visit if you love wildlife 😀

[@RoxytheZoologist]

Ah I bet you had a lovely trip! I’ve been before in bluebell season and it’s truly spectacular!

[@rogerchassignol3666]

Vos photos sont de toute beauté. La magie de l'heure dorée est superbe ! Félicitations pour la mise au point avec un minimum de profondeur de champ. Je suis aussi un Nikoniste convaincu, mais votre œil fonctionne tout à fait bien.... Bravo pour cette belle vidéo.

Great footage and a nice story that includes your mom! She looks infinitely patient and appears that she had fun. This is a great location we had heard about before, and your Vlog did a great job explaining why. Well done.

[@RoxytheZoologist]

Yes she is super patient! Probably the only person who can come with me, and sit for as long as I can without wanting to move on! She loves it, so always take her with me when I can :)

[@robinhill9439]

Great video, thank you. Booked my annual trip and going late this year (early July). Love Skomer. Never stayed over, must give it a try. 😊

[@RoxytheZoologist]

[@maxspeed30]

Spectacular thanks

[@RoxytheZoologist]

Thank you!

[@doros9.2]

Hi, great footage and pictures! What do you suggest is a good focal length for photographing puffins? I‘ve never photographed them before.

[@tanyaliepins31]

Gorgeous. Can I ask please we are visiting Skomer for the 1st time in 5 weeks andd staying on the island for 2 days. What lens were you using, I'm not sure whether to go with my 150-600mm or 100-400 and my 24mm for some wide angle. Also what food do you reccomend? You say you dropped your Mum down by the beach, how far can you drive down? The scenes at golden hour were so beautiful. I'm so excited. Tia

[@ogibird]

Hello from Korea! I'm really enjoying your vlog always. The wildlifes in your videos are totally different from Korea so I wanna visit there someday.

Really great video, I miss this place! Have to go back, although the weeks leading up to the trip I was studying weather maps just to be sure the boats were running!

[@RoxytheZoologist]

It’s a very special place for sure! Yes, boats being cancelled are gutted when you’ve been looking forward to it!

[@Harry-bh5dg]

Really nice vid, I am going to Skomer soon and if my pics are anything like you have done I am going to be very happy, I have subscribed and liked for you. I am taking a 150-600mm and a 70-200mm will that be adequate, what clothing etc would you advise I take? I am going for the day, any advice would be really really gratefully received
