Really nice, the colours are awesome and detail looks really sharp. Very hard to pick a winner.

would love to go here when is the best time as im from the north and what would be the norm for equipment i have a 5d mark 3 with 300 2.8 lens would this be ok
Dessie, anytime in the next three to four weeks should be good, they should start feeding their young soon. Your setup would be more than adequate. I was out a few years ago, its a great trip, midweek would be best as it would be quite.

Thanks very much everyone for your kind comments……most appreciated…….Dessie I shot these with a Nikon 300mm F4 ..some of the puffins were only 5/6 metres away……

Trying to plan a visit at the moment. Any pointers would be awesome, like whats the craic with the boat over and stuff ?, Thanks a million for confirming my need to go there !!
Hi John,
The boat usually goes most days I think at approx 1030/1100 and returns about 1600/1700 ….Price is €25 per person….Advisable to ring Declan Bates to book your place 057-2529736Cheers.
would it be to late to go in the first week in July as my wife’s a school teacher and she not off till then
Great shots! Would a 70-200mm be long enough to get some decent close ups? I’m heading down on Saturday but 200mm is as long as I can go :(
Thanks guys…..Early July should be ok but not 100% sure….Alot of the birds just up and leave I hear…..Although I think everything is a bit behind this year……..Alot of the puffins landed within 20 feet of us so 200mm should be ok……it’s perfect for the gannets.
