I have had lots of questions about puffins on my last video, so...

Here are five things I learned about puffins on Skomer Island!

1. Their beaks turn the iconic bright orange colour for mating season. Outside of breeding, the colourful outer plates actually shed, revealing a much duller beak.

2. These puffins are calm around humans because Skomer Island has little to no predators. With gulls kept at a distance and decades of protection, humans aren’t a threat. In fact, our presence often makes them feel safer.

3. Puffins mate for life and raise one chick each year. Their pair bonds are strong, and both parents share the work of raising their little ‘puffling’.

4. Puffins are fast flyers, flapping up to 400 times a minute. Their tiny wings are built for swimming, so they need rapid wingbeats to stay airborne.

5. They return to the same burrow each year, some originally dug by rabbits. Puffins often take over old rabbit burrows or expand them into deeper nesting tunnels.

As if we couldn't love these little birds more 🤍💛🧡🖤

Enjoying the view when we were suddenly interrupted…

That moment still doesn’t feel real 🧡🖤🤍💛

For anyone wondering if we were too close, here’s something most people don’t know about puffins on Skomer.

Puffins here aren’t scared of humans. The island has strict paths, limited visitor numbers, and decades of protection. They’re completely used to people walking past. When we stay still and keep to the routes, they sometimes choose to come towards us.

They actually feel safer when humans are around. Our presence keeps gulls,their main predators, at a distance.
Gulls watch for puffins returning to their burrows so they can steal fish or locate chicks. So by staying still, giving them space, and respecting the birds, we’re doing exactly what helps them most.

This little one approached entirely on its own - curious, confident, and completely in control of the interaction. This is a reminder of how magical respectful wildlife encounters can be.

Many of you have been asking me where the puffin video was filmed. Here are a few more moments from the day behind that puffin video 😄

As many of you guessed... it was filmed on Skomer Island, Wales. Home to over 52,000 puffins this season, and one very confident one who decided to inspect my camera, a very special moment I will cherish forever 🖤💛🤍🧡

This reel is just the part of the day… I’ll share a full step‑by‑step guide and more photos soon!

I'm back from one of the best wildlife experiences I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing, and it was right here in the UK!

How lucky were we that whilst we were having a rest sat looking over the cliff and down at the rocks, to see any other birds or sea mammals we might spot, this little puffin stole the show and reminded us exactly who we were there to see 🤩

There were puffins EVERYWHERE... 52,000+ in fact!

Excuse me whilst I swoon over the pictures and videos I took and question whether this place actually exists or if it was a dream 🖤🤍🧡💛

WORLD BEE DAY - 20th May

Let's talk about Leaf Cutter Bees!

Leafcutter bees cut perfect circles from leaves,
but they don’t eat them. They carefully trim these pieces to build and line their nests, creating cosy chambers for their young.
A leafcutter bee can carry a leaf piece many times
its own weight. She flies it back to her chosen nest site, gripping it tightly as she travels with incredible precision.
Once the nest chamber is filled with pollen and a
single egg, the bee seals the entrance with layers of leaf pieces. This leafy “door”protects the developing bee inside until it’s ready to emerge the following year.

LEAFCUTTER BEES ARE A TYPE OF SOLITARY BEE. DID YOU KNOW THAT THERE ARE OVER 270 TYPES OF SOLITARY BEES IN THE UK ALONE?!

Did you learn something? Repost and share to spread the word!
