Headed over to the fantastic island of Skomer for another of my photographic workshops today. The sea crossing was quite choppy and we had a lot of cloud cover which in turn helped give some really nice un-contrasty scenes for a change. Anyone who is aware of Skomer Island, it’s famous for its colony of Puffins among many other things. I never tire of photographing these little guys, they cheer you up just looking at them! Every pose they make oozes character which makes them a joy to photograph. Especially this time of year as they’re bringing back beaks full of sand eels to feed the chicks.
