Yet more Puffins

I took so many photographs of Puffins this summer that I’ve not published even a fraction of my favourites, so here are some new ones for you:

Lovely, aren’t they? I particularly like the intense concentration in this one’s posture. Landing isn’t the easiest operation to complete successfully.

It’s fabulous to see Puffins over turquoise Orkney seas.

Landing is a high-risk operation, especially in blustery weather, and the control needed is exceptional.

Landing isn’t always smooth.

Isn’t it typical that there’s always a photographer there when you embarrass yourself?

David @ the HALL of EINAR on To those who say sex isn’t binary…It's fascinating how society produces these movements which appear as if they are coordinated. People will always believe utter nonsense, but what worries me is the vulnerabilities of the checks and balances which would normally...
