Puffins play and gather food for North Devon PR photgrapher Guy Harrop


North Devon PR photographer Guy Harrop spent a couple of days following puffins and finally got lucky. Puffins are colourful stubby little birds and with the right photo kit can make a couple of good photos. They are very quick and do not sit still too long so keeping an eye constantly around you, as you are waiting for them to hunt for food and come back during nesting season becomes second nature. Guy was also lucky, as 2 previous visits had been uneventful. Said Guy, " I don't really take nature photos too often. You usually have to have a bit of time on your hands and wait a while for something to happen. But when it does it can be so rewarding and worth every minute". Guy regularly supplies International stock libraries with his images which are available worldwide.
