9 tips for seabird colony photography

In this video I spend a day at the coast photographing seabirds from sunrise til sunset and share 9 tips with you on how to make the most of your visit to a sea bird colony. This includes puffins, razorbills and gannets. There are so many birds to photograph on the coastal cliffs that it can almost be overwhelming. So make sure you have a plan and think about your photos so that you end up with lots of great images. Sign up to my new nature photography newsletter: https://walksonthewildside.co.uk/subs...
