The Isle of May is situated in the north of the outer Firth of Forth, approximately 8km off the coast of mainland Scotland. During the breeding season over 200,000 seabirds nest on the island, including Atlantic puffins, black-legged kittiwakes, razorbills, guillemots, shags, fulmars, Arctic terns and lesser black-backed gulls.

Photography Tips

Be there during the breeding season. Use a fast telelens and fast shutterspeed for flightshots! Check your autofocus settings for continuous shooting mode in AI servo. I always use back button focus.
