Join me, Canadian Wildlife Photographer Christopher Dodds, on an exclusive Puffin photography escape. Limited to an intimate group, this is your invitation to a once-in-a-lifetime immersion. Picture this: newly renovated lighthouse accommodations a stone's throw away – less than 200 meters (220 yards)! – from the nesting birds. Indulge in gourmet meals surrounded by the symphony of seabirds, dedicating our days from dawn till dusk to capturing their captivating lives. Our focus extends beyond the stars of the show, the Atlantic Puffins. Prepare to photograph a rich tapestry of wildlife, including Razorbills, Common Murres, Savannah Sparrows, Semipalmated Plovers and Sandpipers, White-rumped Sandpipers, Black Guillemots, Common Eiders, various gulls, Grey Seals, and even the possibility of Minke Whales.
These meticulously timed expeditions coincide with the peak season, ensuring we witness the heartwarming spectacle of puffins returning with precious catches to feed their young. Having grown to the size of an adult, they need a lot of nutrition to bulk up an extra 20% before they leave the warmth and safety of their burrow.
It's not just a workshop; it's an intimate and luxurious encounter at Puffin Paradise. Secure your place for an unforgettable photographic journey.
