One car full of kit (underwater camera, tripod, topside set up, drone and slider)
Two dives with a colony of seals and one particularly pretty, playful one
Three 04:30 starts to catch sunrise
Four months talking about this trip….one day to plan logistics and prepare
Five glorious boat trips
Six beautiful west coast sunsets
Seven Phantom4Pro explorations early in the morning and at last light
Eight nights at Castle Ely Mill, Whitland
Nine filming days – meeting scientists, making friends, moving gear around and laughing
Zero Otters spotted (despite our best efforts), 1,200 miles on the road, 31 thousand gorgeous puffins thriving on Skomer, thousands of Manx Shearwaters returning to Skomer under the cover of darkness and too many drinks enjoying sunset over the Atlantic Ocean at Druidstone.
