Skokholm "Dream Island"

[Barney Strumble]

Hi all, I've been trying to document the scenery around my local area for a while now, I have a keen interest in capturing the Coast, but have found difficulty getting good shots in many cases, so I've recently tried the new Gopro 3 and I'm quite happy with the result, but think improvments can be made.
Skoholm is a very important Island for migratory birds, a few miles off the Pembrokeshire coast the Island is surrounded by fast flowing currents which provide a rich feeding ground for the many different birds, I have tried to capture Skokholm's rugged coast in this youtube vid, please feel free to comment on any improvments that can be made.

Hi Pete, Thank you for your comments, and I do hope you had a nice stay on the Island, unfortunatly I only had the Gopro cam, which doesn't have any zoom function, and I didn't want to get to close to the large rafts of Auks during the breeding season, I'm trying to devise something where I can capture underwater footage of them aswell, I've only recently had the waterproof cam so still learning really, if your good self or anyone has any still shots happy to share I would love to make another vid, I would happily mention names in credits if permited of course.
