I visited Skomer for the first time and the experience was amazing. I got most of the Puffin shots that I was after, except for the parents with mouths full of sandeels - at least I've got an excuse to go back again. Here are a few of my shots....

Very nice set. KUDOS to you.


Have plenty of Canons, enough ammo, enough to blow 'em to "L". Now, I just have to learn to aim.

Great puffin shots, Paul. They always look so cartoonish to me. Definitely on my to-do list! :)
