Join me for some puffin therapy!!
The Isle of May is home to an incredible array of wildlife, up to 200,000 seabirds can nest on the May, which can include 100,000 Puffins, there are also large colonies of Guillemots, Razorbills, Kittiwakes and Shags (best time for Puffins is from April to end of July ) also about 300 seals live all year round on Isle of May. Porpoise and Dolphin and the odd whale can be seen, you just have to be on the trip on the right day and be a bit lucky.

The duration of our time on the island depends very much on the tides. But is usually between 2 and 3 hours. During our visit we will look to capture images of the incredible and iconic puffins. We will have a set shot list that we will try to achieve in our short time on the island with the stand out shots being the puffins with sand eels and fish in their beaks.

As with all my workshops I will be on hand to give advice on settings and various different shots that can be achieved. The goal is that you will go home with a full portfolio of puffin images.

The group will be a maximum of 5 people so there will be plenty of opportunities to work with everyone one on one if required.
The price includes the boat booking and photographic guiding throughout.
