Marwell, Wirral and Skomer

First, Bristol kite festival needs some help from it's friends. We are certainly friends of the festival.


Marwell

Marwell Photographic Group gets access to the zoo on some summer evenings after the public has gone home.



Wirral

The Wirral marks our wedding aniversary. The date of the event may have changed, but that makes no difference.

Matt Tunbridge seems far to comfortable in the MD's office while he is away...


Skomer

We went on a trip to Skomer for the weekend.


Bed & Breakfast

An excellent B&B on the mainland.


Ferry



Puffins<

We went to Skomer to take pictures of Puffins. We were not disappointed. You can get really close to them on the ground.



Puffins on water

They are easy to catch on the water.


Puffins Interacting

We liked to picture them interacting or displaying different behaviours


Puffins with sand eels

Of course, the shot we really want is with a beak full of sand eels to feed to their chicks in the burrows.


Puffins in flight

Trying to catch birds in flight is exceedingly difficult.


Puffins in flight with sand eels

Of course, it is really special to get a bird in flight, complete with a beak full of sand eels.
