Atlantic Puffin

[Formatted]

I love these creatures, they have a strange way about them. I thought I'd share a few more of a series of images from an Island called Skomer in Wales (United Kingdom). Its a stunning place although famed for its Puffins it also has a quarter of the words breeding population of Manx Shearwaters.

You can find the rest of my images from the trip here.

I'm slowly working my way through editing the thousands of photos I took over the few days I was there, I'll be breaking it up with a few images from New Zealand so stay tuned.

Really love everything about number 2.

Not really loving the blurry weeds in the first one blocking the subject

Looking forward to more! I like the second one! Very sharp foreground.

Thanks for your comments, its a shame I really liked the first one. There are so many photos like No.2 and so thought that I would do something different my Puffin photos. I could have executed it slightly better perhaps, get a bit higher.

Cheers anyway!
