Atlantic Puffin Photography
The Atlantic Puffin, with its clownish painted bill and comically upright stance, is one of the most rewarding subjects NaturesLens brings clients to photograph, offering close, low-angle opportunities as the birds shuffle between burrows and clifftop perches. Patience and a steady long lens are rewarded handsomely here, as puffins are often remarkably tolerant of a quiet, well-positioned photographer.
Where NaturesLens Photographs the Atlantic Puffin
NaturesLens runs dedicated Atlantic Puffin holidays across Scotland, Norway and Iceland, with Atlantic Puffins of Fair Isle exploring the Scottish colony, Puffins of Iceland taking in Akureyri and Grimsey Island, and Winter Wildlife of Arctic Varanger covering the Varanger and Vardo region of Norway. These trips are typically scheduled for April and June, when NaturesLens visits these sites to make the most of the puffins' presence.
