Aside from their unmistakable appearance, they appear full of character and humour. Watch as they speed through the sky, flapping their wings at an impressive 400 beats per minute at up to 55mph, before landing and then, in complete contrast, waddling around awkwardly on the ground before disappearing down a burrow and out of view. Furthermore, many breeding colonies are accustomed to human presence, making them easy to photograph.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_56376&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 670px\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Atlantic-puffins.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-56376\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Atlantic-puffins.jpg\" alt=\"Atlantic puffins\" width=\"650\" height=\"434\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/07\/Atlantic-puffins.jpg 650w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/07\/Atlantic-puffins.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/07\/Atlantic-puffins.jpg?resize=599,400 599w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/07\/Atlantic-puffins.jpg?resize=562,375 562w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/07\/Atlantic-puffins.jpg?resize=600,400 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/a>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">A puffin takes a rest among a sea of green on Skomer Island, south-west Wales<br \/>Nikon D800, 600mm, 1\/1000sec at f\/6.3, ISO 125<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h2>Habitat<\/h2>\n<p>Puffins favour cliff-top nesting sites, where burrows close to the cliff edge allow for easy take off and landing, as well as a speedy retreat to safety from other birds that mob them when they\u2019re bringing back food for their young. The burrows are packed very closely together, which means any nearby footpaths must be strictly walked on to avoid potentially collapsing the ground. However, the picturesque colony settings also mean there\u2019s never a lack of beautiful scenery, making every puffin experience a memorable one.<\/p>\n<h2>Best time to shoot<\/h2>\n<p>Although they spend half their life at sea, puffins are actually very easy to photograph in summer. This is because they return to their breeding colonies from March onwards, and once their eggs hatch they become very active as they fly back and forth from sea to burrow with food for their young. The height of this activity is between May and July.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_56374&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 451px\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Atlantic-puffins-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-56374\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Atlantic-puffins-3.jpg\" alt=\"Atlantic puffins\" width=\"431\" height=\"650\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/07\/Atlantic-puffins-3.jpg 431w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/07\/Atlantic-puffins-3.jpg?resize=300,452 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/07\/Atlantic-puffins-3.jpg?resize=265,400 265w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 431px) 100vw, 431px\" \/><\/a>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">An APS-C format DSLR with long telephoto and teleconverter was used to capture this shot<br \/>Nikon D7000, 600mm with 1.4x teleconverter, 1\/500sec at f\/8, ISO 450<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h2>Shooting advice<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Mind your step<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Puffins are very small and show little fear of man. This makes them easy to get close to and photograph, but it also means care must be taken as burrows can often be at the edges of pathways. A poorly placed tripod leg, or hastily stepping as you spin the camera round, could result in injury of any inquisitive birds that have decided to wander under your feet en route to and from their burrow while you are looking the other way.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dress for the occasion<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The very nature of puffin colony locations means the weather is often changeable. Sometimes it can be cold, wet and hot in the space of half an hour, depending on the coastal weather. The right clothing will ensure you\u2019re able to keep comfortable and really concentrate on taking photographs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Time of day<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On some breeding colonies, such as the Farne Islands in Northumberland, the sky can be filled with thousands of birds at any one time.<\/p>\n<p>However, depending on which colony you visit and when, you\u2019ll be limited to the time of day you can gain access to shoot. For example, the Farne Islands will only allow access well after sunrise, with mainland departure way before sunset. Unfortunately, for those wanting that warm golden light, it\u2019s not possible at this spot. Skomer Island, however, will allow overnight guests, but you must book at least six months in advance to guarantee you\u2019ll get accommodation. Many of the access restrictions for day-trippers to Skomer Island also apply to those who visit the Farne Islands.<\/p>\n<h2>Kit list<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Lenses<\/strong><\/p>\n<a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Lenses.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-56372\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Lenses.jpg\" alt=\"Lenses\" width=\"424\" height=\"322\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/07\/Lenses.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/07\/Lenses.jpg?resize=300,228 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/07\/Lenses.jpg?resize=526,400 526w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/07\/Lenses.jpg?resize=1240,942 1240w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/07\/Lenses.jpg?resize=900,684 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/07\/Lenses.jpg?resize=562,427 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 424px) 100vw, 424px\" \/><\/a>\n<p>Due to the close proximity you can get to puffins, you\u2019ll be able to photograph them with everything from a wideangle to a telephoto, so bring whatever you have.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gimbal head<\/strong><\/p>\n<a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/GimbalHead.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-56371\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/GimbalHead.jpg\" alt=\"Gimbal Head\" width=\"464\" height=\"551\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/07\/GimbalHead.jpg 862w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/07\/GimbalHead.jpg?resize=300,356 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/07\/GimbalHead.jpg?resize=337,400 337w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/07\/GimbalHead.jpg?resize=562,668 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 464px) 100vw, 464px\" \/><\/a>\n<p>For flight shots especially, the ability to pan quickly is essential.

She is formerly editor of Advnture.com and deputy editor of Mountain Biking UK magazine and jumps at the chance to swim somewhere slightly muddy and remote, no matter how cold the water.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/iswim.likeagirl\/"],"url":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/author\/roseewoodland\/"}]}},"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/07\/Atlantic-puffins-2.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-17 14:01:52","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56066","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/323"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=56066"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56066\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":57300,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56066\/revisions\/57300"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/56375"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=56066"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=56066"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=56066"},{"taxonomy":"product-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product-category?post=56066"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
