I had a great time with the 135mm F/1.8 Plena lens during the Nikon School workshop last week. Absolutely stunning lens! These are some of a large number of Puffin pictures I took. It's such a privilege to be able to be on Lunga on our own with a group and certainly gives a load of extra opportunities as a photographer. There was some incredible light as it got to about 7pm.

Epic common dolphin feeding session on today’s Tobermory trip. Loads of bow riding!!

I think this needs to be full screened, but I really like this one of Melyn (female WTE). Gives a good indication of just how large she is. It always surprises when she comes in after the Male just how much bigger she is.

A couple of Puffin portraits from our recent charter out to Lunga. Always a treat to head here. These are an example of the kind of shots we work on when we run our Puffin workshops. Do get in touch if you'd like to learn more.

An image I've been wanting to capture for some time from one of our sites. The eagles tend to fly a little low, but finally yesterday both I had my camera out, the light was good and the bird flew at the perfect height for my shot of the the bird with the mountains of Glen Coe behind. The male of this pair also has a name finally - Steven Sea Eagle. Sadly this means the female needs an equally strong pun.

I just love this site and this pair. Sometimes there's a wait for them to be around, but we can sit at anchor with the e...

I just love this site and this pair. Sometimes there's a wait for them to be around, but we can sit at anchor with the engines off and just wait in the peace and quiet. The water is shallow and when the sun shines, it reflects on the underside of the birds wing and just makes it look absolutely magical. We saw at least 6 eagles while we waited for these guys to show up before 38 D1 (definitely needs a name!) headed down to us. After some epic gull chasing in the Sound of Mull, put the icing on the cake on a rough day. A gull/gannet feeding frenzy on some bait fish on the way home was pretty cool too :)

Few more shots from our last outing to Loch Sunart. The Eagle missed the fish on this occasion - I wonder if the tail hit the water too hard and it just miscalculated slightly. Lots of fly pasts by the juvenile on this day made it a fantastic hour anchored up here.

I didn't take my camera on the long trip from Lochaline yesterday and typically missed two youngsters on loch linnhe locking talons. Fabulous display with the whole family out for some time.
