Hello everyone, nice to see we are back to the good old British Summer weather again!! . This image of a Puffin was taken on Skomer a couple of weeks ago, in much nicer weather. I loved the look on this birds face, hope it brightens you're day!?

Very different image Paul and I like it for that, don't think I have seen an image of a puffin with its bill wide open, they are usually stuffed full of sand eels!
Great pose from the Puffin, Paul. The only two very minor nits are that the image looks a little washed out ( though saying that, my images from Skomer looked very similar to this re the lighting ) and I'd give it just a touch CW rotation just to level the bird, other than that I'd be well pleased with it.

The larger version really comes alive very well caught something a little different too.
