Hi everybody,
I spent a very enjoyable day on Skomer Island yesterday with my good mate Geoff. For once the light was soft and diffuse for most of the day, it started to brighten as we were getting ready to leave(when this shot was taken). I've never seen so many Puffins coming in with so many Sandeels, so often. If anyone is thinking of going there, get there asap, (if you can catch the weather right). I chose this one first, as it's an image without Sandeels, lol. The BG is the sea.

Love it, as said the soft light really works for these high contrast plumaged birds. Look forward to more from your series

Can't fault it, Paul
