Farne Islands - Puffin photo call

After the Tern warfare, it was down to calm comical Puffins. One thing about Puffins - they leave you alone! Mind you that bill could do some damage as the local Sand Eel population know only too well!

I opted to go for closish portraits, the light was pretty good......







Lovely background to these sleepyheads......









Then of course, there were lots of sand eel opportunities, here's one or two of them!




Getting in closer with the 2x converter on the 300mm lens.....




 Still wet from fishing!











 Here's looking at you!


If you can take it, there's much to come from the following day with the emphasis on flight.....
