Accommodation: Whilst in Ireland we will be using twin room based B&B accommodation (clean and comfortable) and whilst in Wales we will be in recently developed hostel accommodation on our island base.
Level of Fitness: The landings on both islands require a decent level of fitness - one is a wet landing (ie into shallow water) the other requiring a steep climb up steps. On both islands there is a reasonable amount of fairly lengthy and occasionally steep walking on paths, and access to the gannet colony requires a degree of comfort on rocks. This trip will involve some early morning starts and one potentially long island based day. LEVEL 4/5

Seabird Spectacular
Amongst the greatest wildlife spectacles to be found around the coastlines of Britain and Ireland are our breeding seabird colonys, and combining two island locations just 40 miles or so apart but acessible from Ireland and Wales respectively, this trip looks to cover as many species and settings as possible. Our Irish island hosts a fantastic Gannet colony along with multiple auk species, Kittiwakes and Choughs, all very accessible and with specially arranged early morning and late evening crossings scheduled we will be able to work in the very best light. Back in Wales we will be staying on one of the UK's premier islands for Puffins, again allowing us the opportunity to photograph in the optimum lighting conditions, as well as experience the nightime visit of the elusive Manx Shearwater. May brings plenty of colour on the cliffs with both pink thrift and sea-campion to the fore, and bonding behaviour abounds as Gannet, Puffin, Guillemot, Razorbill, Kittiwake and more besides begin this short land based season giving us the chance for some exceptional seabird images.
