The photo was taken mid-morning but, seriously, these birds are flying in and out all day long.Lighting
Bright sunlight and blue sky while we were there.Equipment
Canon 7d mk11 coupled with Canon 100-400mm IS USM MK11.Inspiration
I was wanting to capture puffins returning to their nests with beakfulls of sand eels.Editing
Processed routinely in LightRoom.In my camera bag
As above.Feedback
If you intend to visit Skomer you should be aware that it is not possible to make a booking for the ferry trip. So, you need to be at the booking office on site very early in the morning as they only take the first 150 people each day.
