Watching this on a big TV in HD was absolutely amazing. Your footage is incredible. Something I’ll never see in person so I’m grateful for this
There are just no words in the universe to describe the beauty of this nature, nor of your talent to capture it. Thank you so much for sharing this with the world ❤
Very well done
Dani,
I live in North Carolina, USA. I live in the Charlotte, NC. A medium sized city than runs along the border of South Carolina. About 3.5 hours away is the famous Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. A densely populated tourist attraction. The beaches are often crowed, but clean.
30 miles North of Myrtle Beach, just across the border into North Carolina is a place called Sunset Beach, NC. This small island is the home of a bird sanctuary called Bird Island. The only way to access the Bird Island is by foot. By car, you can drive to the end of West Main Street, park you car, make your way to the beach and walk a mile or so until you come to a wooden bench and a mailbox on a post, sitting somewhat up in the dunes. This place is Kindred Spirits, that's how you know, for certain, you are on bird Island. Bird Island and Sunset Beach were two separate islands until September 1983 when Hurricane Hugo, a CAT 4 hurricane, filled in the inlet between between the two islands. Back then, you could only access Bird Island at low tide when the inlet was shallow enough you could walk through the inlet and get to Bird Island. However, you only had a limited time to visit because you had get back across the inlet before it became to deep to walk back across. Also, depending on the direction of the tide, the current flowing into the inlet or out of the inlet could be dangerous to swim through.
Kindred Spirits: Inside the jumbo sized mailbox are dozens of spiral notebooks, going back decades, with thousands of dated signatures and short stories of those who had passed through the area to visit the sanctuary. There is a volunteer caretaker of the Kindred Spirits. When there is a chance a hurricane may brush the island, the volunteer will remove the decades of journals from the island and keep them in a safe storage until the threat of the hurricane has passed. Then they are brought back to the mailbox for all visitors to this magical place can sit, sign, read or write their own short story for anyone that comes next to do the same.
The only reason I share this story with you is your love sea fowl. Maybe, one day, you can find your way to visit Kindred Spirits, and Bird Island.
I myself, am an amateur landscape photographer. I find the colors and shade on Bird Island to be quite different than other places I have photographed along the US coast. Why? Most costal shores in the Eastern U.S. face due East. Bird Island, like Sunset Beach, face South and the Sun rises off your left shoulder and sets off your right shoulder.
Have a great day. May the light be "just right" for your lens, today.
Alan
Sometimes the beauty of nature you capture in your shots makes me cry tears of joy and satisfaction and make me forget my sorrows for a little moment.
"Adorable, emotional", a little wild too, and filming Puffins in flight certainly improved the reaction speed needed for the secret series😃
Thank you Dani, for beautiful pictures, for ignoring cold feet and bird poo, for funny comments when left behind on islands, and for all the coming wonderful adventures💚
I can see why you especially wanted to go in winter, Dani - what a great snowy backdrop for your excellent series of photographs, and not just of puffins. A few years ago my wife and I went there all the way from New Zealand especially to photograph puffins, but in late spring without snow - still a most memorable trip though! Your video has reminded us again of that special island. We have watched nearly all of your films with real enjoyment, but the two Hornøya ones are perhaps your best yet. Well done!
Oh, the things that wildlife photographers have to go through to get the shot!... Puffin Poo! 😁 Thanks for a wonderful video Dani! 👏👏👏
The Puffins are magnificent and the white rabbits at the end were really beautiful!🥰🐧🐧🐇🐇
Puffins do make the cutest little noise 😊😅
I never wrote before, but your video are the most sweet and lovely in the wildlife stories... Many compliments
I saw your video with the baby squirrels. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. My 2 kids(grown now) are both gingers. As well as enrolled Comanche Natives. When my daughter was born, I saw her tiny self and bright red hair...so I've called her Skwerl ever since (Alyson is her given name.) We share that bond and she is adorable as a pre-K teacher. Just as sweet and resourceful as your little babies were. Thank you for a beautiful experience. ❤❤
Hey Danni
Can u imagine this earth without all the lovely animals? I just can't. They make my days alot brighter and bring me out of my depression where nothing else can. Just love wildlife. Those double crested cormorants were so cool. I saw my first here on the top of a high rise building....that's near a pond, so it made sense. What a beauty.
Brilliant film work Dani 👏big fan of your photography 🎉you inspire me every time I see your videos 🤝
Absolutely magical, Dani. Loved the hares at the end. Just so incredibly proud of you. You've achieved greatness in your work and I know it will just get more and more incredible. Very much looking forward to the surprise series. I can only hope everything turned out well!
Great Job! I love your movies soooo much!! 🐦🪶🦅🕊️🦜🪿
Absolutely beautiful video again Dani, really, really stunning! And getting covered in bird poo is definitely suffering for your art! 🙂
This is absolutely stunning! Thank you for sharing this beautiful footage. 👏🏻
High Quality!!! Cousteau, himself, would be mesmerized!
That lens is so cool, I’d love a wildlife lens but so expensive, your literally living my dream 🙏
Puffins are fun to watch, excellent adventure
What an incredibly beautiful video! All your material is gold. Thank you so much for your valuable work!
Fabulous video! I love your work! Thanks for taking me along!
Monday morning on my daily commute to the office and your video took me to another world. Absolutely stunning, thank you for being the bright light in my day. ❤
Love your work, please keep them coming ... it must be your patience!
Thank you for sharing your outstanding images Dani, and also mention of the lenses that you use. It appears that the 300mm is perhaps the longest lens you need, which is good news for wildlife photographers !
This is magnificent in every way. I think it's your best work yet. The quality of the images and video, the scenes you captured, the editing, the commentary, and the emotional effect...all simply superb. You two are a great team. Thank you and hearty congratulations on your growing successes!
Thank you for this new amazing video in arctic Norway, so incredibel beautiful shots of the cute little Puffins Dani 😍🐧❤️
Thks Dani for another incredible video. Beautiful videos & photo shots of the Puffins. Those night shots-are those animals Hares or Iceland version or something else? Love the fox shots. Cute little animals. Go well with your tour next year.
Beautiful work. I love the video and images. I really like how you provide information not only about your subject but how you get your images.
Absolutely Beautiful Dani, great shots with much better cameras than I had when I was living in North Norway, and in the Shetlands, at Sumber Head in the South. A Pentax was my camera (1970-75) never had any issues with freezing, inside a bag inside my Down Jacket, it's all timing. The one thing I do envy is that there was no easy video/movie. Arctic foxes were a favorite of mine when out Reindeer herding. They would just appear, Hang around, and then as if their cell coverage would head off into the abyss of time. Thanks, Dani for bringing your Time, to Us. Very Special............Robin
The Puffins is truly high on the list of birds I want to shoot. They have a certain something about them that just can't be explained. Razorbills fit right in on top with the Puffins in that regard.
What a spectacular video! You are an amazing photographer/videographer. Taking pictures of birds on the ground is one thing, but in flight, it is not an easy task. Puffins are so much fun to photograph, but my absolute favorite is albatross, so majestic in flight, but quite clumsy on the ground. I had the chance to photograph many a few weeks ago in the North part of Kauai (Hawaii) where they breed from November to May.
Aww loved the bunbuns at the end!
Absolutely brilliant footage Dani 👏🏻❤️
Great images of the birds on Hornoya. I have been there twice in spring. At this time there was access to the lighthouse on the hill and also to the cliffs behind the lighthouse where a lot of puffins were nesting. it was possible to take pictures when the birds were approaching the nest from the sea. I heard that a year or so later this part of the island was closed because a big rock felt down where the stairs are.
I really enjoyed these artic videos! Puffins are one of the best birds to photograph :D
Beautiful film and shots😍 You captured this amazing experience so well 💗
A wonderful black and white episode. The Bleak Midwinter section was a delightful surprise.
And I can't wait for the results of your arctic foxes expedition. But I will.
Thanks for sharing all this with us.
It's amazing, thank you ! 💜
Oddly enough, the music at 5:54 is the same music that plays when someone starts a fight with me.
Thanks for these great images and all the patience🤠🙏
Love watching your video’s, what a beautiful pictures. Thank you for sharing and taking us with you on this trip.
Beautiful. Your work is art. Thank you for sharing. Peace
Another wonderful video Danni. . . wishing that Iceland wasn’t so far from New Zealand, otherwise would be very keen to join your expedition
Bird flue is hammering those birds atm so you where pretty lucky
Merhaba Dani, Türkiye'den selamlar ve sevgiler... Videoyu açar açmaz önce LİKE, sonra yorum, sonra da izliyorum. Seviliyorsun... :)
Keep the good work and theses cinematic quality ❤!
Wonderful video, always loved Puffins, saw plenty growing up in Pembrokeshire
Hello Dani, thanks for such an incredible video with so many excellent shots. Well, like I did with the previous one I will share the link to this video to a norwegian fishing communitiy I am a member of. Btw, the underlaying music and the volume of it always fits to the footage. Thats a fantastic creativ work. !!!
🌹🌹🌹🎀🌹🌹🌹Magicznie piękne widoki ❤️🥰❤️
Somehow I thought Puffins are like pengiuns and did not fly. It's beautiful to see them flying.
Bagusnya burung burung di tempat berlaju semua cantik cantik👍👍👍👍
One thing I noticed in the intro... You are mounting the VideoMic Go wrong like I was when I first got it... The red shock absorbers need to be flat and up straight. The little triangle indicators shoudl point at the inner corners of the shock absorber when correctly mounted, not outside corners... It matters because the shock absorbers need their maximum flexibility to isolate shock and sound from the camera to the mic. Any pre-tension will greatly diminish its capability in this regard.
Grande Dani. 🐿️🌲🌲💕
You might want to consider some cheap wet-proof jacket/trouser combinations (extra large to fit over you clothing) if you are going to be rolling around in guano in future Dani. Much easier to wash than your jacket
Tack!
Looks like and absolute amazing trip bird poop and all ,lol! I can only imagine what it was truly like or would be.
mind-blowing stuff. thanks for the great images!
Just wow what an experience
9:33 wow!
Stunning photos as always. The Puffins was so cute!!! 😍 It makes me want to go out with my camera and just taking photos of whatever animals and birds I meet down at the Swedish seaside.
The trip to Island would have been really fun to join but I don't have the funds for that so it will remain a dream for now I guess. Keep up the good work! I'm looking forward to the squirrel forest project later. 🐿
Wow, I'm interested but can't afford the trip but it sounds exciting!
Beautiful. These birds are amazing. Some of them a have seen for the first time in my life.
Great video! The puffins are beautiful.
Beautiful photography of the Atlantic puffins, Razor-bills, Guillemots, Commorants, etc. You've really captured them in their element in comical, touching, and imaginative ways. Interesting to see them fighting. I've read how birds are not magnanimous although they partner for life in Joan E. Strassmann's "Slow Birding: The Art and Science of Enjoying the Birds in Your Own Backyard." I hope you create a 2024 calendar with your Arctic series, and can't wait to see your next adventure with Arctic foxes and puffins. Jenny 🐧🐺❄
You are simply the best. Absolutly beautiful.
Another wonderful video Dani. It reminds me of a visit to Bempton Cliffs in Yorkshire, without the snow of course, but the sheer number of birds is similar. 😃
13:21 - nice!
Thank you for the lovely video, loved it ❤
Hi Dani
please I'm your friend from Ghana (West Africa )
I really like your video
Hi! I got the almanac today, Thankyou!
Stunning...
Amazing
I love puffins it’s strange that in Northern Ireland we don’t see them but 300k down in Kerry they appear of the coast near skillig rock , a beautiful bird with a beautiful face and eyes and the sad like appearance they have .
Gorgeous!!!
It is amazing!!
You have some nice videos, well done.
Beautiful video! Personally, I have a problem that I don't know when to film and when to take photos. :)

Thanks!
Wow thank you so much!!
Wonderful video 🙂
I went to Iceland and did some shooting there. Took my 100-500mm with me just in case I would see a puffin. No luck.
Last week I walked back from the gym in the blazing heat.. a puffin almost hit me in the face. I live in The Netherlands..
Good job thank you very much Dani
