Puffins!
I took my annual trip out to Skomer Island today, just in case the weather was terrible for the rest of the puffin breeding season!
Thought I'd share some of my favourite ones...have remembered to number them this time!

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?

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.

These are amazing Nicola - well done!!! 
I love the second one, what a super capture - which lens did you use? (Please try to tag the threads in the AOP sections).

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!
