Sumburgh Puffins

I keep saying that i have enough Puffin photos but then head up to Sumburgh for more.

Incoming Puffins are the hardest to get, coming at you at a very fast speed. With my system, the A1 the auto focus is fast even with a 1.4x converter on a 200-600mm lens

All these were taken at ISO12800 on a dull day, the i have used Topaz AL noise reduction.

Speed was at 1/5000 second at F9

 

Sumburgh Head birds- Shetland

This have got alot quieter at Sumburgh head as birds leave the cliffs and head out to sea for the winter

This year i have not seen many Gt Skua due to a reduction of around 80% due to bird flu

Puffins seem to have done well

Jumplings on view

                                                      Lots of young jumplings
