Up Close with Guillemots off Noss, Shetland


During my recent trip to Shetland, I had the chance to photograph Guillemots up close while on a Seabirds and Seals boat tour off the coast of Noss. Watching these birds in flight is truly fascinating—they don’t glide through the air like most seabirds but instead flap their wings rapidly, looking almost as though they're working extra hard to stay airborne.

Despite their awkwardness in flight, Guillemots are incredibly agile and powerful swimmers, perfectly adapted to life on the water. Capturing them on camera was both a challenge and a thrill, as they zipped by against the bright blue summer sky.

Experiences like this remind me of the unique beauty of Shetland's wildlife. The sheer number of seabirds and the rugged landscapes make it a paradise for birdwatchers and photographers alike. I'm already looking forward to my next adventure out on the water!
