Any Level Of Experience
Experience the charm and character of puffins on Skomer Island, as these colourful seabirds come and go from their burrows, return with beakfuls of sand eels, and interact with one another. Guided by an expert photographer, you’ll learn how to capture their behaviour, character and surroundings. From understanding light and composition to anticipating movement and capturing birds in flight, this workshop offers the skills and opportunities to create memorable wildlife images of one of the UK’s most loved seabirds.
In The Field: Approximately 6 hours
What to Expect
We’ll meet at our agreed Martin's Haven Carpark before travelling to Skomer Island, where we’ll spend our allocated slot photographing puffins and other seabirds. Once on the island, we’ll explore the best areas for photography, capturing puffins in action, returning with sand eels and interacting around their burrows. Throughout the day, I’ll offer practical guidance on camera settings, light, composition and bird behaviour. We’ll take breaks as needed, making the most of the opportunities the island and its wildlife provide.
Included
Landing - Your landing and ferry "tickets" for the allocated time on the island
Camera skills – Understand your settings and when to use them
Lens skills – Learn what lens works best for different scenarios
Fieldcraft – Read animal behaviour and use natural light to your advantage
Recommended Kit
Telephoto lens of 300mm+ (for most images)
Wide Angle lens (for close-up images)
Weather-appropriate clothing
Clothes you don’t mind getting muddy
Any personal medication
Snacks and drinks (meals are NOT provided or available for purchase on the island)
