Puffins!

Re: Puffins!

Some cracking pictures there - Sea-parrots are such characters. I LOVE the one with the two Guillimot!! Brilliant!!!

Did you not see any ringed birds in the Island?

Re: Puffins!

Thanks both

I think I saw one ringed Razorbill, but that was about it. they carry out the bird survey on the island in a couple of weeks, so perhaps they ring a few more of them then.

Re: Puffins!

Puffins are amazingly beautiful. You've done a great job capturing them in this sequence. The only thing I might do is increase the contrast a bit. Good work!

Re: Puffins!

Thanks everyone!

The lens was the trusty Bigma. I now have really bad arm ache from carting it all over the island!!
