Allan, Many thanks for you comments. I use Pinnacle Studio Version 12 and find it is very sluggish when editing AVCHD. When the footage is played within the editing software the footage is jerky and I guess I need more processor power/memory to help solve this. The finished footage when burnt to a disk in AVCHD format and played via a Sony Playstation is fine. In comparison when I edit AVI footage from my Canon camera the playback in the editing software is satisfactory.

Hi John. Wonderful video. was it shot on the sony or canon camcorder?

John, Many thanks for your comment. Still experimenting with the Sony.

Beautiful Birds, Beautiful footage, Beautiful music!!!

Prasad RL, Many thanks for including my wildlife clips in HD Wildlife. Attempting to produce one wildlife topic per month. Kind regards. John

Really good John and I know how hard it is to get these shy birds. I didnt manage to get shots like this of the tufted puffin in Alaska. So excellent! You know in Holland we call these species: Papagaaiduiker (Parrotdivers!) BTW what kind was the black one in the middle?

Jan, Many thanks for your comments which are much appreciated. The B/W bird in the middle of the puffins was a Guillemot. The B/W bird by itself was a Razorbill. I can never get a highlight into the eye of the Razorbill - I even struggle with my still shots with this species.

Maestro!
Wonderful shots.

Robin, Many thanks for your kind comments. Wonderful location and hope to visit again next year.

they are totally cool! but that black one seriously rocks!!

Shawn, If the bird you refer to has a white stripe on its beak it is a razorbill.

yup. thanks. i need to read more :)

John, nice shoots of the puffin. Looks like this is a beautiful area for shooting birds, the flowers, the cliff etc...
This is a area I would like to go to, how's the access to this area?

Per, Skomer is a great island for filming puffins. The following link will give you plenty of information - welshwildlife.org/skomerIntro_en.link

The Farne Islands in Northumberland is also a good place - a greater variety of sea birds but doesn't have the abundance of flowers. I hope to visit the Farnes in late April.

Both locations involve a short boat trip.

Don't hesitate to contact me again if I can help with any other information.

Beautiful video

Beatiful bird. I took a video at the coast of Norway in May. It calls "Runde" You can look at it.
