Fish Supper

A day I’ll never forget I have to admit. While not obsessed with puffins like Laura is I must admit they are beautiful seabirds. Having priced up a visit to the much closer Farne Islands and compared the cost to Skomer Island we chose the trip down to South Wales. Getting 4 and a half hours on the island compared to 1 sounded like we’d have more time than we’d ever need but believe me those hours flew by and I could’ve spent days there with these cute little creatures. Having planned the trip for June specifically to see the puffins with colourful beaks full with sand eels to feed their young pufflings it was a bucket list shot ticked off and this was one of my favourites. Despite their colourful beaks making them stand out I actually decided that the texture in this shot would work in black and white and I felt made such a dramatic photo even if that colourful beak was no more.
